Burdock
Characterized by its enormous heart-shaped leaves, burdock is commonly found throughout North America. The fresh or dried roots are collected and used in wound care, tincture making, and herbal tea blends. Roots can be harvested once the plant is three months to a year in age. Sow seeds 1/4″ deep directly in the ground in early spring – germination can take some time. Sow every 6″ and thin to one plant every 24-36″. It is reported to be supportive of the liver, healing for skin blemishes, and cooling for inflammation.

Edit: They fixed the problem! Great customer service will be making all my future seed purchases here. :)
Went to go checkout online, I only ordered a few seeds and it says my shipping is going to be $50?! For the basic shipment. I live in ohio where berlin seed is and only a few hours away that just seems awfully expensive for seed shipment...

Great place! The seed variety is great
Planted all 10 seeds but only 5 germinated. It was strange summer weather so I'm sure that had something to do with it. I'm in zone 6 outside of St Louis. However, that being said, this was the absolute BEST melon ever. So sweet...everyone agreed on that. No disease at all. Amazing. Harvested a total 41 melons. Planted them May 18th. They germinated May 24th. Harvested the first group of 7 from Aug1st-6th. They all weighed over 6lbs. I continued harvesting through Oct 22nd. They started getting smaller throughout the growing season. The largest 6.50lbs. The smallest 2.31. Will definitely plant again.
