Thanks to COVID, we have a little extra time on our hands…silver lining, I know. For real, though, Remy and I are both totally out of work and without income due to the virus, along with many others. We are, however, incredibly lucky to be up on the Remy’s parents’ property here in southwest France, so we are making the most of getting outdoors and stuck into the garden every day. In a bid to share some positive content during these uncertain times, we’re trying to document some of our voyages et virages around the garden.
Our latest experiment was harvesting wild dandelions from the yard and turning them into tea and salad. I’ve now just heard that you can also make wine from dandies, so will be adding that to our to-try-and-do list.
For now, please enjoy the video and if you are able to get your hands on some fresh wild dandelions during isolation do get amongst them. They are incredibly medicinal (check the comments below the YouTube video for more details) and we could all use a bit of nature’s medicine right now, don’t you think?
