How much is a “bunch”. I have seen small bunches, and large long leaves with big bunches. My farmers market sells them in bulk form. Also…do you soak the pine nuts first?

Hi, a bunch for me is usually a good handful. I never soak pinenuts but you can if you want to.

Is it cool to use dandelions from my yard? We didn’t spray chemicals on it and we don’t have a dog. I pull them anyway!

starla, if you don’t use anything on your lawn and you know no one has for years, as dandelions are long lived, at you pick at least 50 feet from roads with any sort of regular traffic, you can. Ideally don’t pick too close to your neighbors lawn unless you know the same about them.
