Voikukkien sesonki on nyt parhaimmillaan. Ne ovat kelpo villiyrttej\u00e4 joista voi tehd\u00e4 vaikka kullankeltaista marmelaadia (ter\u00e4lehdet), simaa (ter\u00e4lehdet), kahvinkorviketta (juuret) tai kapris-tyyppisi\u00e4 ruuan lisukkeita (nuput). Kukat ovat omiaan seppeleiksi ja kukkimisen j\u00e4lkeen ne voi koota hahtuvankevyiksi koristek\u00f6ynn\u00f6ksiksi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarvikkeet<\/strong>
– sulkeutuneita voikukan kukintoja
– kalalankaa
– parsinneula<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ker\u00e4\u00e4 sulkeutuneita voikukan kukkia ja katkaise varsi pois heti kukan alta. Parhaiten toimivat kukinnot joissa on viel\u00e4 kuivuneita ter\u00e4lehti\u00e4. Voit ker\u00e4t\u00e4 niit\u00e4kin joista ter\u00e4lehdet ovat jo pudonneet, kunhan verholehdet ovat viel\u00e4 tiiviisti supussa. Mit\u00e4 isommat kukat, sit\u00e4 muhkeampi k\u00f6ynn\u00f6ksest\u00e4 tulee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pujota reilu p\u00e4tk\u00e4 kalalankaa tai karhunlankaa parsinneulaan ja pujottele voikukat lankaan. Ty\u00f6nn\u00e4 neula sis\u00e4\u00e4n kukinnon alapuolelta, varren rei\u00e4st\u00e4. Voit pujottaa kukinnot tiiviisti, mutta itse pid\u00e4n kevyemmist\u00e4 k\u00f6ynn\u00f6ksist\u00e4 joissa kukkien v\u00e4liin j\u00e4\u00e4 v\u00e4h\u00e4n tyhj\u00e4\u00e4. Solmi langan p\u00e4ihin ripustuslenkit ja ripusta roikkumaan. Kukinnot avautuvat parissa p\u00e4iv\u00e4ss\u00e4 paljastaen siemenet lenninh\u00f6ytyvineen. Voit suihkuttaa kukintoihin heti niiden avauduttua kevyen suihkauksen hiuslakkaa niin ne kest\u00e4v\u00e4t paremmin. <\/p>\n\n\n

Dandelion season is at it’s peak right now. They are lovely wild herbs, which you can make golden yellow marmalade (petals), mead (petals), hot beverage (roots) or caper-style side dish (flower buds). Flowers can be made into lovely crowns or wreaths and even when the flowers have withered you can turn them into fluffy decorative garland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need<\/strong>
– closed dandelion flowers
– sturdy cotton thread
– darning needle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collect closed dandelion flowers and cut the stem off right below the flower. Flower which still have dried petals in them, work the best. You can also collect those flowers which have already shed the petals, as long as the sepals are still closed. The larger the flowers, the heftier the garland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take generous piece of cotton thread and put it in the needle. Take the needle into the flower from the bottom side, into the hole where stem used to be. You can thread the flowers tightly against each other, but I prefer to leave some gaps between the flowers. Tie loops at both ends of the thread and hang them where you wish. Flowers will open within couple of days and reveal the seeds and their fluffy pappus. When the fluffy seed balls are completely opened, you can make them last longer by spraying them slightly with hair spray. <\/p>\n\n\n
