I made honey with dandelions for the first time this past summer. It was a learning experience, yield could easily have been better. I’ll be doing it again this spring.
Dandelion greens, not my favorite, but edible.
One of the reasons I mention cabbage and kale is that if you start them one season, they will grow up and often make it through the next winter.
When it warms up, they will start to leaf up again to flower. And at this time, the greens are EXCELLENT!
Cabbage plants produce a type of sugar in the leaves as an antifreeze.
Early in the year, the cabbage greens are sweet as any fruit you might find. Really sweet. Probably pound for pound as much sugar as apples!
