How do you know if it is the first year? Also, if I wanted to transfer to my garden, would I just have to take a foraged specimen, replant it in my garden and let it do the rest?
Thanks a bunch

Just wanted something different and fell upon burdock and seem to be in love with the stuff.

Actually I’m all for encouraging folk to plant “wild food” in their veg gardens because not only are they perennial (OK burdock is biannual), they are also extremely disease resistant, as well as having a delicious taste.

OK “not” all wild food tastes fab, but a huge amount of it does, and often I think, better than the veg you buy.

Great recipe – can’t wait to try it.
Might try to cultivate a Burdock patch in our allotment – ah – but then they won’t be weeds.
cheers,
