Dandelions & Silkworms

[GraftonChic]

Does anyone know where you can buy Dandelions from? Also Silkworms.
Silkworm city had them but as far as I know sold them when they moved.

grow your own dandelions, pretty sure any local nursery will have seeds or could get there seeds for you.
can't help u with silkworms but try herp related business sure they maybe able to point u in the right direction

Yes they are, early spring through to early summer, from memory I think the seasons finished (my memory is extending back 30 years when I used to breed them so I could be wrong)
