Remember the dandelion vinegar I made?
This is a late update on it, but I drained my quart jar, and got about a bit over a pint of the dandelion vinegar. Sadly, I have to buy all of my greens, and salad mixin's this season, but the vinegar adds a nice flavor.
I read somewhere that dandelions (please correct me if I am wrong) are full of calcium too, so this fall when dandelions are back, I plan to make more.
I told the girls, "if you think I'm crazy now, I'm putting flower petals in you salad." One daughter responded, "you are far past that Mom!" I put calendula petals in the salad.
In fact, I plan to have one for lunch on the porch today. I had ripe cherry tomatoes and added green onion from the herb garden too.
Hours later it was spotless. He turned the hose on it, along with a scrub brush, and by the time he was putting things back in place, he was soaked from the hose.

Edible flowers in salads or other foods are so much fun, let alone attractive. I once served hubby's sister a small dish of cottage cheese with violets on top. She had no idea violets were edible and the look on her face was priceless. The presentation sure was pretty!
anyway... it's so hot here, we don't need a hose to be soaked. We just get soaked from being outside sweating!
Your porch looks lovely... how nice of him to clean it all up for you. The shelf is a nice touch too!
YAY! to no spiders... ;)
The dandelion vinegar sounds interesting. Did it taste like white or apple cider vinegar, or did it have a flavor of its own?
God bless.
