We missed you at the seed swap Sonya.  Would you like one of your comfrey plants back?  They are now reaching impressive dimensions.

Thanks Liz, can I pick them up after school tomorrow or Friday? x Sonya

Thanks Dick too - I won't need anymore as all mine have had loads of babies and I have a whole garden full of comfrey now - but they are all nearly flowering and that's great news for my apples and pears to be pollinated by the bees, as I have discovered that comfrey flowers at the exact time you need them for the fruit trees. Then after that just chop them down to make comfrey tea - for the plants of course!

Thanks again,

x Sonya
