We 'cultivated'some dandelions last year. Grew well but we were trying
for the roots to make coffee. result - yuck.

Couldn't tempt my wife and daughter to eat as a salad leaf although I
tried and though wonderful. Had better luck getting them to eat
nasturtium (spelling?).

Has anybody grow their own dandelion and made a passable coffee? If
so, whats the trick? Health benefits are supposed to be good from what
I have read.

Saw some nice ones at the local supermarket @ $3 a one pound bunch.
Guess I'll continue to pick the wild ones when available.

Anyone here grow it? Are gardan varieties better than wild? I've had
a few grow in my beds that were almost as big as the one in the store.
