There seems to be a lot of plantain around at the moment, particularly in Norwich down Hellesdon meadow. My buns love it. Got some nice dandelions too. :D
 
i've been growing dandelions in the garden. i want to grow plantain aswell. they love the dried plantain so will probably like fresh aswell. :)
 
I found three types I think, the giant one with the big leaves, a low growing one with much smaller leaves (buckhorn I think), and narrow-leafed plantain.

Its really easy to grow but takes ages to germinate. How do you get dandelions to grow I planted some seed but nothing came up:?
 
Got loads too, huge ones, Truffles will only eat it dried though, chinnies, degus, hamsters all had a feast tonight :D

i raked over the soil, watered it first, sprinkled the seeds and watered again and they just grew! only thing i can grow! i mixed the with the grass seeds, maybe that is why they grew better. :wave:
 
Lucky buns.

My lawn's full of plantain - I used to hate it before I got the buns, but now I'm glad it's there. :D

I tried growing plantain in a pot but nothing happened - maybe I was too impatient and threw the pot away too soon. :oops: :lol::lol:
 
George and misty love plantain. I buy them the dried stuff, and they love it.
I hide it in hay and then stuff it inside empty loo roll tubes, they have a great time chucking them around tring to get the plantain out.
