There are dandelion tufts everywhere and they will be in the grass cuttings as we mow in the first dry period for weeks. What should I do with the cuttings? They should not go into the compost heap I think? Can you advise?! Thank you. Claire

They are self fertile and so can still set seed when they are in the compost. Even unopened flowers can set seeds.
If placed in cool compost you can still end up spreading seeds over your garden.
