Squeals of delight, quickly dropping to a bassy, throaty _"and so they should be anyway"_. Yeah, and about time - _huck, spit._ The photos don't show any of the plants that were propagated from the smaller root cuttings but they are not all that far behind in size and vigor. World domination is progressing according to plan, Agreed littlebeard? %(bluebellblue)Photos% # Looking south west at the NE corner of the central East bed. There's a solitary Horseradish to show the Comfreys how they should be looking but other than that they are all Bocking 14's grown from root division (not root cuttings). They therefore had a head start on the others. # Same plants but looking North along the border. Photo doesn't show it but the first few are flowering - Bocking 14 *does* flower! # Looking west along the south border. These were also divisions but consist of the smaller ones - also looking good, catching up nicely. # This is the same row about two weeks ago - The same comfreys are in the top right corner of this shot taken back on the "18th Oct":http://myfolia.com/journals/69751-capsicums-chillis-transplanted-to-garden-bed-and-pots # Two outstanding specimens up against the Lavender 'Avonview', which is still in flower and keeping the "bees busy after a month.":http://myfolia.com/journals/69149-bee-on-lavender-bush Are lavender and comfreys good companions? Judging by this they appear to at least be good friends, or perhaps the Lavender is just being pushy and has ruffled the Comfrey's leaves ;) 6 false 5 70403 false false false Entry 2009-11-01T08:00:00-05:00 DMY 86202 Public 2009-11-02T16:11:00-05:00 5165 Sunny 24 C
