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.



I think it's hilarious that dandelions are sold in the stores. I have
to wonder if the dandelion farmers had trouble with grass growing
around their crop!

I typically fry the flower heads in a light batter for fritters.
