It's now exactly two weeks after St George's Day (April 23) which is said to be the best day to pick dandelion blooms to make dandelion flower wine. They were particularly abundant this year with the warm weather we've had. There are still a few dandelions around but the sea of yellow in the fields and along road verges has subsided and been largely replaced with the white seed heads. I know they're a pain for gardeners, and I get fed up with pulling them up in my flower beds too, but I do enjoy them!
