So I'm thinking that this weekend I'll poke around the valley a bit more and try to make my way up along the river farther than I've been before. The weather has been hot and muggy around Toronto, and there might be rain this weekend. But I don't mind - I like the rain.
My plan is to find a big Burdock plant and dig up the root and give it a try... and see what else new and different I can find in the valley.
And that's all I have for the moment!
Cheers,
Mungo

Hello Mary!
The predominant variety in the ravine and area in which I live is Common Burdock (Arctium minus). You should peel the root or scrape it clean, wash and then dice it up, and plop it into a stew or a curry... it contains inulin, a sweet oligosaccharide... mm tasty!
