11003Q.Lawn
I'm trying to get rid of weeds like crabgrass, dandelions, etc... out of my lawn, so used scotts halt crabgrass down, but I'm still seeing weeds. I would like to reseed, which i think will eliminate some of the weeds... but I'm afraid the seeds may not germinate. Please give suggestions.

April 10, 2017A.You are not alone in the frustration of a lawn full of weeds.
We have some great articles that will help you make herbicide choices and how to improve your lawns health.I would also encourage you to check with your County Extension if you are unsure of the weed types. They can help you with identifying weeds in your region and how best to treat.
I will also list a link to help you locate your nearest office.

TucsonQ.Growing Dandelions
Hello Gardening Know How folk's, I'm trying to establish a weedy yard for my baby tort. I need to grow them at my new house where it's mostly dirt with no grass. We're going to lay down some in a small area. What's the best way to make sure I get dandelions growing, especially with flowers? Can they be started in a pot? You mentioned harvesting, but I'm not sure how to go about this. Please let me know what the quickest way would be to get started. Thanks.

July 16, 2017A.When they are small and probably the spring leaves are less bitter. Just make sure they are dandelions as there are a couple look-alikes when small.

Los Angeles , CAQ.when to plant edible weeds in Southern CA
I want to grow purslane, lambs quarters and dandelion greens--none of which are in my garden currently. I am assuming that I will need seeds and then I want to know when I can plant these.

Certified ExpertA.The best time to plant these would be in very early spring. Just be mindful that these can become invasive in your area. The best way to combat this would be to plant in container.
