June 8, 2015Q.growing dandelion greens
I buy dandelion greens at the local market. Can I use the bottom of the plant, the roots, and replant it and get another plant or do I have to start with actual seeds in order to grow dandelion greens? Thanks for your answer.

June 10, 2015A.It may be possible to plant the root you have, but starting from seed would be the easiest method.

March 18, 2016Q.Weeding allotment plot or digging in?
As a newcomer to my allotment plot, I have been painstakingly digging out all weeds and grass in an attempt to minimize further problems. However, the chap in charge has told me that apart from dandelions, I could just be digging all of these things in. I can understand that it would possibly help the soil but after reading several gardening things, it seems that this could chop them up and make the problem worse in the future. Advice would be greatly appreciated please, as I don't want him to think I'm mental if I decide to carry on digging them out with a fork. Thank you

T2Y 0E2Q.Harvesting Dandelions
I have a yard full of dandelions that I sprayed a year ago and then used fall weed and feed on last fall. Will there ever be a time when I can harvest dandelions from my yard, or have they been contaminated beyond ever being able to eat them regardless of how many years pass?

Stoney Creek, Ontario Canada (looks like we are a 5b zone)Q.Weeds
Over grown garden full of weeds. I have no idea how these weeds started in my garden. Last spring I had surgery (gallbladder) but did not do much gardening - and I am paying for it big time this year! I have one particular garden where what looks like dandelions have taken over. I pulled them all out in the spring, got half of the garden mulched - then my dad got sick. I did knothole time to get back to it and now they have invaded! What can I do? I pull and they come back twice as much. I hope you can help! I live in Canada - near Niagara Falls. They also seem to be 'jumping over to nearby gardens. Please help!

July 18, 2016A.I mentioned that i did pull them all out this spring - root and all - but this has made the problem worse. They have come back - three times as many. I was hoping for a better answer. Now they have spread throughout the whole garden.

July 18, 2016A.Pulling weeds after watering can make removal of the entire week and roots easier.
Removing weeds before they can seed themselves will also help reduce their presence in the garden.

70634 zone 8bQ.Dandelions
I live in zone 8b in Louisiana and I can't understand why there are no dandelions growing anywhere around here. I live in a rural area with a big field behind the house, nothing! Not even in town! I would like to plant some, but don't know if they will make it.

January 8, 2017A.What plants are growing in your field? How tall are the plants? Do you have a photo of the field? Have you ever had a soil test done there?
