People seem decidedly
polarized regarding this happy little survivor.
Our attitude towards
Dandilion depends on
which part of the garden we are in at the time. In some
areas it is a noxious weed but just around the corner, it's
wonderful.
We use the Dandelion leaves to pick
up the zing in salads occasionally, ferment the flowers to
create a real 'down home' wine, pickle the buds, because we
can't seem to grow capers, and use the root in our 'Liver
clean' formula.
Dandelion will grow well in pots
and in some ways I think that it is best kept that way as
the soil is generally more friable allowing the root to grow
to generous size for harvesting.
Our major use of this herb is
homeopathic.
We only
sell packets of 50 seeds as this is more than enough to
start a very healthy crop.
Packet of 50 seeds $3.30
