Where to buy veggies/greens

[pspryu101]

I'm trying to be as varied and mixed with my baby RF but it's hard when I can't find veggies or leafy greens anywhere? Such as Grape Leaves, Hibiscus(blooms & leaves), Dandelion Greens (this one i can scavenge in my yard so no problem), Curly Endive(not belgian)/Chicory, Escarole and Collard Greens (i know they have this at the store). Does most of their diet you can just scavenge and find outside or do you purchase them at a store? If so where can I get them? Retail stores such as safeway,raleys,walmart, etc. seem to just carry basic stuff. Any name brand stores out there? Thanks

most people grow their own food. if you can't do that, then scavenge it from a pesticide free area. grocery store bought greens are okay, just wash them first. you could also go to your local nursery and see what they have. as for brand, it doesn't matter, just organic is best.

Do they carry curly endive or hibiscus of some sort? Not sure if we have those stores here in the NorCal

Maybe I'll grow some out in my outdoor enclosure. i'm guessing seeds for them can be bought at lowes,home depot or probably local nursery? How long does it take for them to grow though lol
