Dandelions are a vegetable and you can eat the entire plant. I like batter-dipped and fried dandelion flowers and dandelion wine. I use the roots mostly for making a coffee adulterant. A friend of mine uses the young leaves in her salads all the time. She also juices them. The dandelion plants release an elevated amount of ethylene gas which when coupled with fruit trees/bushes will help ripen them on the plant.
You can either save the seeds to plant yourself or you can transplant them to where you need them. They can grow into massive plants about 2 feet in diameter with leaves 3-4 inches wide. They can be a very pretty flower in the spring and fall. And, they can be a really nice vegetable if you learn how to use them.
My gardens all have dandelions planted in them.
