Thos,

Normally I consider "Billy" to be quite over reactive. In this case I
believe that his cautions are more reasonable. Bear in mind that
dandelions were brought into the country by immigrants with a few
packets of seed.

I'm not trying to put a damper on your zeal , or recreational
activities, but hope you will use caution when importing seeds. As a
start I'd suggest only swapping seeds with other US residents. At least,
in this way you'd not be responsible for another invasion of Dandelion
or other invasive species.

Good luck with your growing,

EJ in NJ


Dandelions are "great" plants. Food, soil conditioner, and medicine all
rolled into one. Often they remediate human affronts to nature, like
lawns. http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants....cum+officinale

learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and
find out for themselves.
