I didn't like them. Here's the recipe I tried:
Dandelion Greens Saute
1 lb. dandelion greens
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
Wash and slice greens. Blanch in enough water to cover about 1 minute. Drain and saute in the olive oil for 3-4 minutes, then add the sesame and garlic and saute for couple minutes more. Add the sesame oil and serve.
I think it may have been to olive oil - it was one of those flavored ones (Basil flavored). But the dish just tasted yucky. Too many different flavors perhaps.
If I can get another bunch of
dandelion greens from Maya again this week, I am going to try the one with bacon! Everything tastes great with bacon! :)
Happy Digging (Eating?)
The Garren Goddess

This is the first year I got peaches on my May Pride Peach Tree. The tree has been in the ground in my garden for a year. There are 15 peaches turning a pretty rosy-pinky color! I go out ever day to give them a little squeeze to see if they are ripening. 
I noticed that two of the peaches have little holes in them - perhaps the birds? I have lots of birds (Verden Wrens and even a love bird!) becasue of my sunflower forest!
Watching Ladybugs Being Born
As I was walking through the garden this morning I noticed little black bugs all over the Cilantro plant that had bolted a few weeks ago. I was hoping to harvest the coriander seeds (the seed of cilantro) but instead saw these bugs. Upon closer scrutiny I noticed the ladybugs as well. Some of them looked like they were pupating right before my eyes.
What a wonderful site it was. I even saw one ladybug take her first flight! They will have plenty to eat and drink in my garden with all of the aphids and nectar from the wild flowers.
