Looks more like blue alkanet. Comfrey leaves are much bigger.Comment

I'm not convinced, comfrey has fuzzy leaves, so give it a feel and see if its smooth or fuzzy.http://togrowahome.wordpress.com/ making a house a home and a garden home grown.Comment

On a side subject, can anyone enlighten me on how to add a thumbnail picture in my post that when you click on the thumbnail it takes you to the bigger picture, just like the one above.

Thanks all, I now dont think it's comfrey.....I got all excited as wellComment

Excited because you thought it was Comfrey, and want Comfrey plants?Originally posted by Greenleaves View Post
If so, personally, I would not have a self-sown one, but rather the Bocking-14 sterile one (for which you will have to get a cutting - a bit of root will grow, and the local allotment growers should have loads and will no doubt spare you a bit).
I grew Comfrey from seed, before I knew about Bocking-14. That was 7 years ago and I still have it springing up in places, even though I eradicate it whenever I see it now

I got mine from the company below and they are on there 2nd year and growing like mad. Have taken a crop off already for the potatoes. Not too expensive either for a crop that will last for years.
