weed shortage!

I was in Whole Foods today, looking for interesting stuff, and I noticed that they were selling dandelion greens for $2.49 per bunch. Not $2.49 per pound, $2.49 per bunch. This seems like a funny thing to me, because it seems like most of the country is trying to get rid of dandelions from their property, meanwhile a few people are buying them for $2.49 per bunch from Whole Foods. I wondered, is there some difference between the dandelions growing in your yard and the ones for sale in the produce section of Whole Foods? I hit the web, and found a web site that basically said "Think you have a dandelion problem in your yard? Why not just eat them? They are tremendously nutritious!" So, apparently no difference. And, indeed, they are a tremendous source of Vitamin K.

But, irk, I don't think my yard grows enough dandelions for a decent harvest. Argh! Too much grass in the yard! It has choked out everything!
