Dampen the soil before sowing the seeds. Press the seeds into the soil, cover them very lightly with soil or not at. Germination takes up to 2 weeks. When the seedlings establish, thin to leave only the strongest seedling in each cell/pot. When they outgrow the module or pots, transplant each one into a large pot. Dandelions have tap roots that need space to grow. The leaves should be ready to harvest after 11 to 14 weeks. Remove flower stalks so the plant puts more energy into growing leaves.
