Dandelion Greens

[burntotears]

Is there a season for them? And do they sell them at generic grocery stores like Walmart or Target - we don't have Whole Foods or Krogers in this area which were the first results that came up when I googled them.

I know many people say that dandelion greens are their dragons favorite so I wanted to try and find them to see if maybe it'd be a gateway green to get my baby started eating on something leafy haha.

If I'm slack and don't get the lawnmowing guy here every 2 weeks from about September to about April (our warm months) I get loads of dandelion flowers in my back and front yard as well as clover and few other herb type "weeds" . Being subtropical coastal , we have dandelions flowering year round here (literally everywhere you look).

My beardies like dandelion flowers better than the greens.

I think you'll find they are seasonal, you can easily grow them in pots indoors in the colder months.
Often seen dandelion seeds for sale on Ebay.

Another good choice is nasturtiums.

I see them a lot in the summer. Check the co-op/natural food grocery stores. If you're in Texas HEB may have them during the summer. Otherwise Collards, Turnip Greens, and bok choy are fine too.

Thank you kingofnobbys, toothless is a salad snob if if his salad doesn't have dandelions in he hardly eats any I was getting the greens from bashas/smiths stores, but they don't have them now. So thank you for suggesting ebay

our stater bros and ralphs grocery stores carry them in Southern California, something like 1.50 for a nice big bunch
