Seed Needs Dandelion Seeds 30,000 Herb Seeds Non GMO Bulk Pack

I wish I bought a package that had more seeds. They don’t seem to fling too far when spreading onto a lawn. I made a decent heavy duty fling’er out of a stiff kitchen spoon but hard to tell if I get much over 10’ across the fence line. Also after 3 weeks I’m not seeing any new sprouts but I spread them at the same time that the natural dandy’s were seeding, and I don’t see new sprouts from them either. Probably just need to be patient. That’s on me. They definitely go farther than the naturals that blow in the wind at my house. Usually the wind on the fence line is into my face so it’s hard to get the naturals over the fence at all. They just blow back into my own yard. Overall I think this is a great product. In theory a yard or at least a portion of a yard within about 10 feet of the fence could be covered in dandies and after a couple good seed cycles their entire yard could be covered.

I was excited to see the non-GMO dandelion seeds. I have been using dandelions for years. I use them to make my smoothies and salads when the leaves are tender and cook them when the leaves get long. Dandelions are extremely nutritious (very high in vit A) and easy to grow. I volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya every year and these seeds went to Kenya. I am trying to expand their diets because many are dying in their 50's due to eating a poor man's diet of "ugali", a very thick cornmeal mush and a few greens. My biggest challenge is teaching them how to prepare the greens with their usual seasonings of tomatoes, onions, salt and oil and then to try it. It is so hard to get past cultural differences. Some are adventurous, but others wait to the reactions of others. Agriculture is their lifeline. They live from crop to crop. They do not know how to can, dehydrate or cure any foods. If there is a drought, they go hungry. We are teaching many food preservation skills, but it is a challenge. But dandelions grow well and profusely. Praise the Lord! Thank you for your seed company and keep up the good work! God bless you, young man. Remember your Creator now in the days of your youth and He will bless you abundantly. Leona

There just weeds, LOL. Thank you, I appreciate you. Be well.

I planted these last spring and fall and not one germinated. Waste of money.

These work great

Ok so I have bought 3 packages of these seeds and on the 3rd try they finally grew. HERE'S THE TRICK TO GROWING - keep the soil wet all the time until the sprouts are nice and strong and use topsoil or potting mix. The first package I bought I watered 3 times a day, but I had just tossed them in essentially sand where no grass would grow, so I wasn't too surprised I had no luck. Now the second package I got a bit annoyed because I had spread an inch deep layer of fresh topsoil in my front and back yards. I watered the front twice per day and the back once per day to see if maybe I was over watering. Not one dandelion. Now I live in Florida, but I used to live up north and we had to fight the darns things off up there so i was a bit peeved they weren't growing. To be fair the instructions say keep the soil moist, I just didn't think I had to keep it wet every minute...yeah you do. Finally on the 3rd try I planted half in Miracle grow potting mix in flats of seedling pots. and spread more in my topsoil. I water the same way, the only difference was this time it also rained every day for the 5 days after I planted. Taa Daa! On exactly the 5th day I had teenie weenie little dandelion sprouts everywhere. Moral of the story: water, water, water. Never let the soil dry out until they have sprouted for a few days.

I just want to say these seeds were not easy to germinate! It took a lot of trial and error. 1st time I tried to plant them in egg crates with fertilizer and potting soil, pla ted about 1/4" into the soil. I waited 2 weeks, watered them every day and not a single one sprouted. Then I simply sprinkled a few seeds on top of the same soil and and shuffled them a bit on the top soil. About a week later I started to get a few that sprouted but not much. At the same time I sprinkled the seeds on the soil I started that white container you see in my image. Just a wet paper towel and seeds sprinkled over them, i spaced them out and made sure they didn't touch. I placed them in DIRECT SUNLIGHT and about 4 or 5 days later they started to sprout! And not just a couple a lot of them. After that first day they sprouted I'd get about 20 new ones that sprout each day in this little container. For me, after trying 3 different ways of getting these guys to sprout, this has been the easiest and fastest way for me. If you do plan on using soil, you literally don't need to plant them under the soil much, just place them on the top of the soil and sprinkle a tiny amount of soil over the seeds and use A LOT of water, at least 3 times a day. The container with wet paper towel stays wet most of the day so you should only have to wet it once or twice a day depending on how hot it is.

I planted these back in May but so far, no show. Maybe I waited too late & will try again earlier next Spring.
