In the mid of rainy season, it was so clear sky today in Nara where is an old city in Japan and my 2nd farming garden is located that I and my family could not miss the opportunity to harvest potatoes,carrots and burdock roots.
I planted them 3 months ago the garden and I expected planting potatoes is a good idea since climate this year has been so unusual ( cooler,and much rain) that potatoes output in Japan could be so low and the retail price could be so high. And Yes it is!! Just 1 potato is about $1 in our local market.
Carrots and burdock roots is still not mature but I pick up a few of them for a test.And I'm happy to see them well-grown.

Tell me more about burdock roots. We consider burdock a terrible, invasive weed. I've never heard of harvesting the root. Can you show us a picture? How do you prepare the root for eating?

It's very interesting to me that you consider burdock a weed. It seems that people in your country don't eat it.A burdock root is a very popular vegetable in Japan and we enjoy various dishes such as a boiled burdock salad.
I'll pick up some burdock roots from my garden this weekend and show you pictures and some recipes of burdock dishes on my blog.
