    hello
    I am now renting a place that was a great garden for decades, then unkept for a few years. My first summer is approaching and im discovering many plants in the garden. Was weeding and came across this. Pulled it out without thinking, then noticed a big rood formation.
    Did a bit of googling, but wanted to be sure. Is this burdock?
    Thank you!

    Yes, could very well be young burdock leaf. I am more familiar with them as they age, when they get rougher--but it certainly looks what I imagine them to be as fresh leaves.

    Does not look like burdock to me.
    Can you take a photo of this plant with roots ?
