Grape leaves are edible. I have 2 varieties and eat the young, tender leaves. They get tough once they have been out for a while. For recipes, go to a place like www.recipezaar.com. One of my favorites is Dolma

As for dandelions, again, you want the young, tender leaves so you will have to wait for spring. Old leaves are bitter. Some people use the roots but I have never tried. My ducks eat all the flowers, but my neighbor uses hers to make wine.

In the fall after a good, hard frost they seem to get sweet again and are available until the snow covers them over in late November.

Ahhh....I did not know that! If the ducks leave me any, I might have to harvest a fall crop.​
