I grow burdock and I just love it as a root vegetable. I appriciate the way you refer to the year like a day. My Gram has always thought like that.
I think it’s super important to eat what’s in season. I believe there’s a reason that burdock and mushrooms are ready to be eaten around this time of the year, and I think we’d all do well to listen to nature when it’s telling us what we should be eating and when.
