Ya know, if you have a 'wild' yard, meaning nothing but mowing, no chemicals etc. Chances are you have dandelions growing. I have a TON along with a TON of wild mint. Both of these are good Dragon greens as long as you know it is chemical free. Where I live, nobody does anything to yards. I'm in a MH park that mows. That's it. They used to use that killer stuff in some areas but new owners put a stop to that a year ago. Im saying this because if your neighbors have a nice weed free yard chances are they are using something that could hurt dragons. It could blow over to your yard.
So! If you do have this stuff growing, you have almost unlimited salads for your Beardies. Unless they are like my Petey who refuses it! ? I keep trying though, would be great to have free salads. ? Something to keep in mind, push come to shove, research safe wild greens. ?

We don't spray or anything and never have in the 8 years we've been here, but we do live close enough to our neighbors and our yard is small enough that I'd be frightened of any overspray. And the neighbor lady likes to come spray next to her fence in our yard so the grass doesnt poke through (metal fence next to wood fence, can't weedeat between). And they are definitely some salad eaters. They usually finish theirs during the day.

Yup that's exactly what I was referring to. My boy eats his salad just haven't been able to get him to eat more than a tiny piece of dandelion on it. None of the mint that I'm aware of. Would be nice to have something that I didn't have to come out of pocket for. ?
