@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.

There is so much healthy comfrey in the nodig vegetable garden. We see bumblebees feeding all day. This bumblebee is feeding with a dramatic flair. Comfrey is a great green manure for making compost. It is also aggressive in this space. #minnesota, #nodig, #growyourown, #pollinators, #comfrey, #fermentation.

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!
