That may be it. I haven't seen any blooms yet so I can't compare those.
Thanks, Lin.

Tee, you are very welcome. Youngia japonica is apparently found in Tn:

I usually check that TN site but didn't take the time to do so. It's one of my standard go-to sites.

Dandelion was my first thought too. They have a very long tap root.

I'm always on my way out the door..
Or possibly chicory.

It looks like you may be able to differentiate by inspecting the back of the leaf along the spine.

It is probably regular dandelion, but now that I think about it, I do also have chicory and also pink dandelion (crepis incana) somewhere out there. I'll have to go down and take another look.

LOL, I knew it looked familiar but I didn't think of Dandelion ... which we have tons of down here in Florida too!

There are pink

Taraxacum pseudoroseum
