Thank you for the advice and the welcome!

Maybe I have too high of hopes for comfrey. I was really growing it to create a good mulch. It sounds like it doesn't really thrive in Tx though. Hmmm.. I may plant it anyway, it sounds like a good plant to have around the garden. I was going to plant it under our pecan tree. The tree is probably about 80 years old and the shade it offers truly changes the climate of our back yard. You can walk out from under the tree in the summer and feel the heat blazing down, but under the tree it feels like spring all the time :). When it rains you will never know it if you are under this tree. It towers over our home and we keep thinking we should cut it down before it crushes us, but.... I really like the tree. Probably not smart on my part...

Anyway, thank you for posting the article about comfrey. I will go check it out. I have read quite a bit about it, but it seems like those in Tx. have a different comfrey experience. Smiling

This is the best place ever. I know of no one irl that has any desire to discuss garden stuff! Hilarious!
