Here is my submission for the Natural Medicine Aspect - Sand for Straw - Harvest, Dry, and Store Burdock Root BB.

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following:
- a picture of the fresh herb being harvested
- a picture of your herbs drying (hanging, in a dehydrator, in a bag, etc.)
- a picture of your herbs in a sealed and labeled container, with the label indicating where the herbs came from, the method of drying, and the date

I'd intended to harvest these roots towards the end of the summer, but a bad windstorm knocked my burdock plants down so I figured I might as well dig them now. I definitely should have cut the roots up before drying them - they were a pain to cut once they dried. I ended up with about a cup of dried burdock root.
