golden rod and other weeks in the field

[keegs]

slowzuki....We cooked up some burdock root a few weeks ago. Apparently it's good for you. We sauted it in butter and let it simmered until tender...not too bad really....tastes a little like plantain.

I'm new to this obviously...I had someone mowing the fields for the hay but they're no longer in business and so I'm on my own with it now. It's been a few years since the last mowing and the weeds appear to be getting out of hand..I'll see how it looks next summer and if it doesn't look any better maybe I'll try spotting it with something.

Goldenrod is great for bees - gives them a boost for their winter honey stores. If you can mow it once a year, try to mow before it goes to seed, and you'll stay even with it. I notice you said "It's been a few years since the last mowing...", and a few more and you'll have woods growing. I guess you know that...

Yeah Jim..that's why I'm getting kitted out for mowing. ...seems to me though that trying to keep ahead of these weeds is gonna be a little like Elmer Fudd trying to keep ahead of that wascally wabbit. :laughing:
