Growing and Using Comfrey for Gardeners including Comfrey Liquid Fertiliser or Tea

Very productive day today and the weather was kind also!

Assembled my second hand greenhouse. Went to Wickes thinking I could buy a pack of spare fixing bolts...........no greenhouse stuff whatsoever. Settled for a small bag of normal nuts and bolts which sufficed.

Cultivated a small bed (Dug up some useable Cara spuds that I'd missed) and planted up a tray of well rooted shallots.

Added 8 bags of woodchippings to paths.

Weeded a bed and fed the weeds along with some sprouts that had gone to seed to the chooks.

Planted in a large container, a Rosemary plant I bought at B&M's for £1.99.
On reading the label it stated "Herb.............not for consumption"

Done an hours weeding and tidying......watered stuff in greenhouse and left for home, knackered but contented!

Well I feel quite lazy having just read your posts. Picked up 2 lavender plants on way to lottie for the fruit cage. Potted them up as they were root bound. Stained greenhouse shelving, stained fruit cage, gave seedlings their weekly drink.......Thar's it, doesn't sound much does it?

Sowed: More Peas, Broadbeans, Lettuces, and Cabbages in modules. Started some Kale and Purple Sprouting Broccoli in modules. And sowed 48 plant seeds for hanging baskets (Petunia's and Busy Lizzies, 24 of each).

Potted On: Broadbeans

Built: Another Brassica cage, this time not as high as my Brussels one, but longer in length for the Cabbages etc. (60cm high, 3m long, 1m wide).

Ooooh, I'm living on the edge, me!
Took all my beautiful tomato seedlings (which have come up a treat on the living room bay window sill) up to the lottie for potting up as they all have their first true leaves and are about two inches tall.
Of course I have done the usual and sown far too many (twenty-odd of each, Moneymaker,Red Cherry, Black Cherry, Black Russian, Ailsa Craig and Marmand). However, all potted up and snuggled into the smallest greenhouse. I've lit the paraffin heater, and am keeping my fingers crossed that the temperature doesn't drop too low and the heater doesn't go out!!!!

You're welcome AP - it's the sterile Russian Comfrey that doesn't seed everywhere, unlike our native comfrey, which does.

Attended the Exotic seed event at the lottie all very interesting ......weeded the garlic and overwintering onions , prepared a bed for the bored beans weeded the cabbages and psb ....sprinkled some chicken poo pellets where needed . Noted that the 2ft stick I bought from Lidl (well you can't come out empty handed can you?) has bigger buds than the bigger Aldi trees ......

[perkin]

Cleared the last of the savoy cabbages - the chickens had a feast!
Planted potatoes, sowed carrot and beetroot seed, potted on sweetpeas, weeded blummin' ground elder out of the raised beds, pricked out tomato seedlings into pots, harvested first lot of PSB.

[Acanthus]

Tried to weed ground elder from the peony roots;tried to weed ground elder from the iris rhizomes;tried to weed ground elder from between the daffs; etcetc not a good day

[Tripmeup]

Did some Patricks Day stuff and then got back for couple of hours in the garden..
Sowed direct my Alderman,Early Onwards and kelvedon peas..
Sowed some Leek seeds - Bulgarian Giant & Musselburgh
Procured some land from inlaws to plant spuds...yay

[susieq100]

Potted on tomatoes and cukes, sowed some beetroot, leeks, salad leaves, summer caulis and courgettes in modules. Went to the plot and planted 200 onion sets - that should be enough onions now! Forked over another bed. Waiting for the rain to stop to go back this morning and do a bit more.

[Gearoid]

Sowed some more bush tomatoes (tumbling tom, minibel & gardenpearl) and some thyme, marjoram and two different basil seeds. Usually I buy herb plants but I thought I'd have a go at growing them from seed this year.
