You bought dandelion? That's funny, most suburbans spend a fortune trying to get rid of it. I just hoe around it in the garden. Don't try to get that to mature in a pot, has a long taproot, like cilantro, it won't happen. There's probably plenty growing in the bluebell patch, have you checked in there?

Bit late in the season for echinacea, that seed needs to be cold treated... kept cold for at least two weeks (fridge) prior to sowing or it won't sprout. You got the purple coneflower type? That's the best and easiest. Too bad you are so far away or I would ship you some baby plants... sent a dozen to another friend last week, theres a few left. overseas, they'd never make the trip, too far.

I wonder why I never see any milk weed around here. There was tons where I grew up just growing wild we would play with the seed pods. maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

I rarely fast. But dinner was great I made spaghetti with sauteed snap peas and diced garlic greens on top, yummy. new recipe!
