HOWEVER, AS I MENTIONED, THE LEAVES IN THE SPRING ARE HARVESTED BEFORE THE PLANT FLOWERS. IN MY AREA WE HAVE PASSED THIS WINDOW. IF YOUR DANDELIONS HAVEN'T FLOWERED YET, GO FOR IT. BEWARE, THEY ARE SO BITTER!!!! HAVE FUN. HI JIM, YOU CAN EAT THE LEAVES FRESH, STEAMED OR SAUTEED. HOWEVER, AS I MENTIONED, THE LEAVES IN THE SPRING ARE HARVESTED BEFORE THE PLANT FLOWERS.
