I want to plant seeds or plants for the CDTs. I do have Rose of Sharon and other roses. I can easily find flower and vegetable seeds but where do I find the seeds for dandelions and others. People don’t like dandelions in there yards but I don’t care. And I can have some planters for growing anything. I live in Central CA so we have over 100° weather all summmer.
I live in the same general area. We have a weed here that is like a dandelion but with bigger leaves. I can't remember what it is called but when I first showed it on the forum I was told it was healthier than dandelions because it wasn't high in oxalates.

I think there is a tortoise seed mix you can get.

I'm jealous of all those flowers! I'm glad Charlie likes the leaves because I don't get that many flowers. My neighbors on both sides both have huge hibiscus trees that hang over the fence. I cut a lot of that for him.

Thank you. I will look online to find the dandelion lookalike and the seeds. Better yet, maybe Chat GPT can find both. 😁
