Description: IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!!!: I try to keep the cost with free shipping on small seed orders as low as possible by using first class letter mail without tracking. It works well, but sometimes is a little slow and every now and then, one will go MIA. In order to be able to keep using this low cost service on Ebay, PLEASE do not open a case if you do not receive the seed order. Please give them a few extra days to get there, and if you still haven't received them, just write me and let me know BEFORE opening a case. There is no way for me to provide tracking for an open case, and I can not resend your order if you open a case because without a tracking number Ebay will automatically refund you after only a few days. AND my account suffers. So PLEASE if you want to keep the cheap shipping option for small orders..... JUST MESSAGE ME DIRECTLY and let me know you haven't received them, and I'll resend them out for you. Look for the seeds (unless you pay for first class package with tracking) in your regular letter mail in a white envelope with a butterfly or flower sticker on it. *ORDER of 1000 and 5000 BULK Seeds comes with First Class Shipping with Tracking as free shipping option Choose From 150 to 5000 BULK Seeds TARAXACUM OFFICINALE Dandelion SEEDS~. 100% organically/naturally grown with no pesticides, no trampling on, and fresh rain water! All seeds have been collected from our all natural/wild gardens. These are Fresh 2023 Seeds, recently harvested~ approx. 90% germination rate ALL SEEDS are HAND SORTED and INDIVIDUALLY COUNTED for maximum quality control. The super food/super medicine plant that has been demonized by "modern" society, and turned into a loathsome, despised UBER WEED!! We have forgot a LOT of our ancient (and not so ancient) wisdoms, and nutrition from the wild landscape around us is definitely one of those forgotten wisdoms. Many would be shocked to find out that the Dandelion leaves have as much as 10X the vitamins and minerals of their favorite garden/cultivated greens. They may also be amazed to find out that Dandelion flowers are also very nutritious and tasty in salads, make beautiful edible garnishes for soups and deserts, and also work well as a food dye. Dandelion root can be ground up and used as a coffee substitute, or as a tea....and can treat a wide variety of ailments including diabetes, arthritis, heart disease....and helps cleanse the blood of free radicals. This shunned little powerhouse is just ONE example of how modern society has turned it's back on common sense and well being, and exchanged it for carpet like lawns,( and microwave dinners with little or sometimes even NO nutritional value). Dandelions can be found growing almost anywhere. And picking the seeds yourself is an easy prospect. However, many of the areas where you can find them growing wild (even your lawn) may not be the cleanest environments, particularly if you have a close neighbor who demands his "weed" free chain link fence line and doesn't care to give the neighborhood cancer with Roundup in order to get it!! These dandelion seeds have been harvested from plants that have grown where there have been no chemicals sprayed anywhere close by for at least the last few years. Of course, in this magnificent world of chemicals, it's impossible to get away from them completely. But I do about as good a job as a person can do of keeping our plants clean and pathogen free. Dandelions like neutral to slightly alkaline soil, and will thrive in full sun or shade. Salad greens are milder of plants that are grown in shady areas, but take care to make sure the soil is well draining and that there is good air circulation as they are prone to downy mildew and shaded areas that are damp will make them susceptible. Harvest young leaves for salad greens, from plants that are 1-3 years old, in early spring; Harvest roots of older plants that are at least 3 yrs old, (or that have large rosettes) in fall. Pick flowers for drying, or fresh use at any time during the plant's lifetime. Dandelion sprouts also make good micro greens. If growing dandelions for only salad greens, pick flower buds off when they form so the plant uses all of it's energy for foliage production. And feed with fresh compost dressing every 2-3 weeks. Mulching with grass clippings will keep the plants with a constant source of nitrogen. Dandelion plants are perennials and will live for many years. They have a single taproot which gets quite long so you'll have to use a spade to get it out of the ground, and almost always you will end up leaving some of it behind! Germination time: From 3-12 days Planting Depth: surface sow/lightly cover Sunlight: A few hours per day is best for germination Soil Temperature: 50-80 degrees F (warmer temps mean faster germination). Keep soil moist but not soggy Plant seeds or thin to 6-10" SHIPPING: I ship individual orders of small and tiny seeds in regular first class letter envelopes without tracking to save you on shipping costs. *****If you order 4 or more seed items, order larger sized seeds, or large volumes of one seed type, I will send in a padded envelope with tracking automatically with the free shipping option. *****You can request 1st class shipping with tracking, or priority mail/priority express shipping with any order. If you chose "FREE SHIPPING", please note that many times you will not receive a tracking number when your order is marked complete. If you do not receive your seed order within 2 weeks of the date you ordered, contact me, and I'll resend your order. I do not give refunds or accept returns on seeds, but I will most certainly resend an order that does not show up due to USPS incompetence. We <3 organic gardening and totally enjoy sharing the fruits of our labor with our friends here on Etsy~ Every order is a blessing, and we want all of our fantastic buyers to be 100% happy with their purchase. So contact us ASAP if you aren't (for any reason) thrilled with your order. Happy and Blessed Growing!!!!
