@SrRochardBunson here's some of mine starting to come up for this spring & summer, within another 2-3 weeks I'll start to see stalks for it's tiny purple flowers. I absolutely love it for how many happy big bumblebees I get with it and my chickens enjoy munching on the leaves I bring them from it too. But do understand if you've very sensitive/delicate skin, as I do, that it does feel a little prickly to the touch, so either enduring a little shortterm pain or wearing gloves will be needed for trimming it back.
Also note that while the bees do indeed love said flowers, they're not very fragrant nor #asthma attack triggering, so if you want an asthmatic friendly #pollinator plant, this is definitely one for that list.

Comfrey is the bomb-proof food our family relies on for nutrition. This is how I harvest and dry comfrey leaves to drink throughout the year as Nourishing Herbal Infusions
Comfrey is not only an incredible healing herb, but is #FoodAsMedicine. Comfrey leaves are packed with minerals and protein.

Are all Comfrey plants equal in herbal medicine? No. And here's why. One of the most common varieties of comfrey seen in British gardens is a hybrid, and it is more dangerous than the medicinal variety. Learn about the differences with me in this completely off the cuff video!

Comfrey in the stumpery. Sourced from a drift of self-sown comfrey elsewhere in the garden.
The bees love it but they were camera shy. I overheard them talking: “Oh. it’s him again with this thing that goes click. Looks like a giant eye. Very suspicious. Better wait and come back when he’s gone”, they said.#comfrey #stumpery #ArtistsGarden #ImperfectGarden #garden #gardener #gardening #GardenPhotography #Artist #wolfkettler #Photography #GardenWiltshire #WiltshireGarden #Wiltshire #sustainable #spring #bloomscrolling #biodiversity #natural #NaturalGarden #WeedGardening #weeds #wildflowers #WildlifeFriendly #PlanetFriendly #PollinatorFriendly #ecology #climate #ClimateChange #conservation #sustainability #SelfSown

Making some weed tea with #comfrey leaves. One of 6 buckets of natural #fertilizer tea.
Some will be used as topical plant spray & rest used as soil drench at plant bases. I put the spent leaves at bases as part of mulch after.#FrugalGardening #Gardeners #DIYgardening #NaturalFertilizer #HomemadeFertilizer #PlantFood

I thought this #bumblebee was dead at first - it wasn't moving for over a minute. It started moving, shortly after I started videoing. It was taking a rest break & did some grooming before flying back to #comfrey #flowers to feed on.
I'm uploading the video now.

GM nostr... a sunny morning in a #foodforest in East Germany.
Our #forestgarden in May 2024 after 6 years growing...
Don't trust industrial food. Grow your own food. Learn to eat wild plants. Be your own farmer. Live your own agenda. Trust nature. You are a highly evolved part of it. Technology of the Creator.

I love #comfrey #plants.
They're great for #PollinatorGardens, useful for making homemade #fertilizer, #NitrogenFixer plant & also a topical #medicinal plant(good to use for small bruises & cuts). It's a pretty plant in bloom. Propagated all my comfreys from cuttings.#Wsanec #Zone8 #Saanich #FrugalGardening #VictoriaBC #YYJgardens #nature #Bloomscrolling #florespondance #Spring #perennials #Flowers #BCblooms #VancouverIsland #PNW #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #WhatsInMyGarden #plants #botanical

Brimstone butterfly resting on one of a cluster of blooms of common comfrey.
Encouraging biodiversity in my backyard has led to an abundance of different types of butterfly, even early in the season.

Tuberous Comfrey
There’s a large patch of #tuberous #comfrey in the #woodland. This is a very interesting plant as it was originally recorded as being native to #Scotland where it is thought to have originated as a #medicinal #plant.
