Does anyone know where I could purchase dandelion leaves online? I'd like to give them a shot with Mary Jane.

I'm not sure they sell it, unless its an online grocer. You can find them in most health foods and ethnic supermarkets (or so I'm told).

Most larger supermarkets sell them here. Check with the produce manager of the supermarket where you shop.

Thanks for the help guys, I used to work at my local grocery store and they don't carry them. I will ask my old produce manager if she could get some in for 'lil ol' me haha. If not they have a nice cut up mixed greens bag that has mustard greens, turnip greens, and I think swiss chard that I wanna try.

no they grow everywhere round my way. they are known as a nuisene here as they grow as a weed in everyones lawn. they are so hardy they will even grow from the cracks in the pavement. i think if any chemicals were used it would be to kill them but seing as they are not dead.
