Everything from Dandelion roots to seaweed (Irish Moss). in fact – many of the pharmaceuticals ppl use come from things developed along those lines.

I’ll look forward to watching your episode. Be sure to read Mark Wilkinson’s links in his comments sent about burdock in England.

Seems like everyone with animals or a field has a burr story. Another reader wrote on Out Walking the Dog’s Facebook page that she spent a lot of time as a child uprooting burdock from her family’s soybean fields and untangling burrs from the tails and manes of the horses.

If it tastes anything like our Sasparilla Soda or Root Beer or Birch Beer, I’m definitely down for a drink!

But I noticed their return the other day – and my two shorter haired mutts – labradors both – still manage to get burrs attached, fortunately not imbedded in their coats. Hard to believe that the parks crews haven’t cleaned up every bit of vegetation as they like to do in some Toronto city parks…I like your encouragement of eating the wild beginning wth burdock – but I’m not going to start… pull ‘em up and burn ‘em is my motto! – good luck with the burry man and the burry dog! and thanks for the chuckle this morning Melissa! I do sympathize.
