' I've been dealing with wasp nests near my terrace for many years.
Then I learned that wasps are territorial and won't encroach on an area if they think another colony has already settled there.
Inspired by this, I decided to crochet a fake wasp nest.
The outcome has been nothing short of remarkable: ever since I hung up the faux nest, not a single wasp has shown up!
As a result, I've noticed a significant decrease in the number of wasps around.

' Dandelion Crowns / Hearts

Possibly my favorite part of the plant are the crowns, which are like a small, tender vegetable.

I've come across specific recipes for this in Turkish cookbooks, but undoubtedly they're eaten in other places too.

To harvest dandelion crowns, you need to get the dandelions when they're young-still in the basal rosette stage.

Digging dandelion crowns / hearts

Using a shovel, you dig up the cluster of crowns, and cut them from the roots.

From there I trim the leaves for another purpose, and cook the crowns like a small vegetable.

Dandelion crowns are tender and delicious, with a texture that might remind you of an artichoke. '
