Dandelions begin to sprout in April every year and are fresh and juicy in June. After that, they cannot be eaten if exposed to the sun. Dandelions can be harvested more than 10 times a year. They are annual or biennial herbs, and the tender stems and leaves can be harvested many times. Generally, when the plant has 6 true leaves or is 10 cm tall, it can be harvested with scissors or by hand. It can be harvested once every 15 days in spring, once every 10 days in summer, and once every 30 days in autumn. It is important to water the plants immediately after harvesting, and apply quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer.
