Ok, so my plan is to buy some dandelion seeds and plant them in a plastic container with soil, and grow them for Stagger Lee (hatchling Redfoot).
Since I am TOTALLY clueless when it comes to even growing anything outside, I thought I'd post this here.
What type of light/bulb would be good to use for growing dandelion greens?
A direct link would be LOVELY. I'd seriously appreciate it.
I have a hibiscus plant that I already pluck leaves and petals from for him, and that will be coming inside in the colder months. I also have prickly pear cactus that will be going into a flower pot for him to munch on on his fruit days.
I've pulled dandelion greens, from WHERE I can, in my yard, but that's not always going to work. I'd like to grow them inside to have more control over what is going into them and what is not.
So what do I need to do?
I've already been to Lowe's for seeds and they looked at me like I said, "HEY, LET'S BURN DOWN VILLAGES AND KILL BABIES" when I asked them if they had any dandelion seeds.
But I can order them online. I found this place:
http://www.cherrygal.com/greens-dandelion-heirloom-seeds-2009-p-9954.html
I won't need a TON, not this year, as he's just a hatchling, soon-to-be a yearling, but he still won't eat a lot.
What else can I grow inside for him?
I figured I'd start with dandelion greens since they're a weed, can grow just about anywhere, and are fairly hard to kill, right?
Sorry if there has already been a thread about this, but I did a search, and didn't find anything.
Thanks!
