For someone who loves herbs, I’ve been unkind to my comfrey. I’ve heard so much about her prolific nature of crossing boundaries, of setting down deep mining roots with great abandon, because this girl ain’t going nowhere! I purchased the sprout last May and put her in quarantine in a tub far away from her peers (told ya, I’m mean). For the past year I’ve watered and looked after her and even spoke to her in passing about being respectful of personal space, (Comfrey is my Wilson) Problem is, I did invite her home knowing full well what I was getting into. Just took a little adjustment in our relationship, which basically meant acceptance on my part that no matter how transparently loud and aggressive her behavior is of showing up where you least expect her, her virtues, and they are aplenty, far out weigh these concerns. So here you are little comfrey, welcome to the garden! It’s you and me friend.
