  • Help wanted - plant/weed identification

    Hi there. Does anyone know what this plant is? It is sprouting up everywhere. If you allow it to get bigger before digging up the bulb at the bottom looks a bit like a potato.

          Looks like the flowering type of comfrey that seeds everywhere - not the Bocking one that stays put.
          You could make comfrey tea. There are lots of uses for comfrey - but I can't remember them

              Here ya go Busy Bees Farm has organic garden growing Comfrey naturally | ORGANICALLY GROWN
              Check the flowers when they appear. If they're blue and look a bit like forget me nots - its Alkanet, not Comfrey.
