Symphytum(comfrey)

Ooohh good idea, i'll put some in our wood :)

Thought of you today Kathy, was digging cow parsley up to relieve bluebells, sigh

Nice colour combination :)

Three barrow loads of blasted cow parsley today Dawn grrr, Snoop tells me if I keep cutting the leaves off it ll be gone in a year just consentrating on one area this year far to much to do it all so see how it goes :-)
I bought a lovely Fatsia 'Spiders Web' yesterday another that's going in the wood :-)
I'm not sure of the variety Wylie Sbg was given it but after googling think it looks like 'Hidcote Pink' I like the colour too :-)

Oh god Kathy, those white roots are huge, arent they, then most snap off, grrr. I filled the green bin, thought the council might like it. I left the patch I was doing too late, its already swamped the bluebells and it can look worse trampled than left - I must put it on my list of jobs for early next spring. I wish cutting the leaves back was a quick fix but those tap roots? Certainly cutting back the hog weed doesnt work, I wish it did. I will look up your new Fatsia. I really must move my comfrey into the wood next week.

They seem to grow overnight don't they Dawn.
Thanks Homebird it is a bit different isn't it :-)

Very pretty Kathy ,I sometimes wish I had more room but at the same time I'm glad I haven't Lol ...

Yes Kathy, they do. I think mine have grown a foot tall in just over a week, darn, if only I had controlled them earlier in the year.

I know just what you mean Amy I've stopped digging new beds it takes all my time looking after what I've got!!!!!
I datent look today Dawn a night away and they've probably taken over!!!!!

Kathy I see you are putting your Spiders web in the wood, we have ours in full sun!! and free draining soil lol

Its strange Dd as I'd seen it in the RHS mag and made a note thinking it would look good in the wood then remarkably a couple of weeks later I spotted it at a local GC the label said full sun so I asked the owner who said it'd be fine in shade , if it doesn't thrive I'll move it lol.

I think it needs some sun so you get more white to the leaves, ours was slow to take but it is off now.......will post a pic should I remember!
