Where To Buy Dandelions?

[EarthUponWater]

I know this is an odd question and maybe it's been asked before, but I'm being lazy. I discovered that I can feed dandelions to both my Tort and Turtle (Forest Hingeback, Western Painted). Unfortunately, there are none near my house I'd be willing to eat myself, let alone let my pets eat. I live near a park (which is frequented by dogs, foxes, skunks, raccoons, and park maintenance) and next to a railroad track.

I assume it's not difficult to raise dandelions, but I don't want to do that unless I have good starters. Is there a place to buy them? If not, would anyone be willing to figure out how to ship some starters to me with instructions on care?

Watch for the blooms to go to seed and pick the seed and you can just scatter them on the ground or in pots. They are super easy to grow in fact I would love to get rid of a few hundred, LOL. I would send you plants but don't think they would do well. I have tried transplanting them and they don't always do well but planted by seed works every time.

you can actually find the leaves at supermarkets. I heard wholefoods has them also.

if you cant find them anywhere, i could bunch them together for you, and ship them to you. what city are you in?

Organic/natural grocers, nature preserve type areas they don't spray (away from paths because like you said, dogs and such), or better yet, find a friend with an organic yard who is willing to let you come over and pick weeds (I still haven't found one unfortunately)! I go to Whole Foods or a local chain that is similar to it. I had no luck trying to grow them or any other weed. lol
