The.comfrey propagation experiment is working out really well. The entire gutter was filled with fine roots with new plants emerging every week. I took 2/3 of the plants out and put them into a nook in the yard between some trees.

I gave several to friends and called it the cow manure plant after the way comfrey tea smells while fermenting. To a fertile future!

Being your own means never having to wonder whether it's safe to put some kind of on your itchy eyelid. When you make it yourself, you know what's in it. In this case, it's olive oil, , , and .

Btw, mosquito bites are instantly soothed when I apply some fresh comfrey juice. I have a bush growing in the corner of my plot. It has healing substances, like aloe. I love it.

Bees love it, too. 🌿💕🐝✨

I was trimming the comfrey at my community garden plot this morning, and realized one of the cut parts had a metamorphosing ladybug! So I took some home to let the bug morph.

So far, it’s the year of the ladybug for me. My plants need them for sure!

Comfrey leaves and flowers. I love how a freshly torn comfrey leaf smells like cucumber.

Woodlice seem to like hanging around on comfrey leaves, which is odd...

April is the month that is closed on Thursdays so I went up to nearby.
These Persian Fritillaries are striking in the wilderness area. It seems Hidcote might have an issue with 🦌 because much of their wild area planting is stuff like and these things that deer and rabbits leave alone.

It’s a favorite of the girls, which is why I suspect that after being in this spot for over a decade, it has not succeeded in its quest for world domination.

As with other helpful plants, it has its enemies; these are simply people who do not appreciate the work that plants do for us, and so do not offer proper respect.

In today’s observations, my first sighting of common comfrey in flower. One small patch has appeared next to a daily used path.

Trying to think of some more medicinal plants I can grow here.

is pretty well established. Gonna take some cuttings of that here in a week or so. Been taking about 1 Tbsp of elderberry syrup every once in a while, whenever I feel like I'm coming down with something. It's worked so far.

I think the (Bocking 14) is established now. I put some live roots in the ground this fall and I saw a sprout in one of the spots where it was planted during this warm spell.

I put some seeds under some leaf mulch, hoping for the best. Who knows. I think squirrels are gonna find them though.

Haven't had luck with yet. got too hot that one year and kinda bleached.

It's tough. This soil is so full of clay and the weather seems to get too hot too fast.

I am in the process of removing the bird sh*te from my website, and it involves wading through a lot of old blog posts.

This one from 2018 made me smile. It's about growing comfrey, but really it's about growing . ☺️

When the rescued decides he likes fresh foods so much he won't eat pellets.

Which is fine, I don't mind giving and sharing my own greens, and , even in . I'll totally divide the in and let our go wild.

But he won't drink, and I don't want him to urinate cement...

@crashsolo It's Comfrey (borage has blue star like flowers). The type that self-seeds can be a bit much, but you can turn it all into comfrey tea, if that's any good? Info about it here permaculture.co.uk/articles/co
