Hey everyone. First off, I really don't like the change to Gardenweb....now under Houzz...for what...5 years now?... So like I tried to search for the Topic/Forum related to NYC/Metro NY or whatever it's called...and nothing came up. Yet I know there exists such a topic.

So I had to do it in the reverse...create a new post, then Add my post to a few topics...and there it was... Metro NY.

So.... if I see a plant in the street (sidewalk) that LOOKS like a dandelion flower...has LEAVES that look like dandelion.... is it safe to just pick off some leaves, wash them and eat them? Could there be anything else growing wild in NYC that might look like dandelion, but in fact is something else that I should Not eat? And what if a dog peed on the dandelion? ;-) Will I still be ok so long as I give the leaves a rinse?
