My Favorite Plants

---

Comfrey is the workhorse of the garden.  This perennial is a powerful soil builder and fertilizer, beloved by pollinators, blooms all summer long, and generally behaves itself and stays put.  This is a Bocking 14 cultivar that has sterile seeds.  Cut down several times during the summer and use the cuttings to mulch and fertilize beds.  I plant it around all my fruit trees and other permanent plantings to provide a continuous and balanced supply of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous.  I also use it to make a nutritious compost tea and steep dried leaves in organic olive oil for a comfrey oil that I use daily on my face and mix with beeswax and scent with lavender for an amazing salve.  $18 for healthy, field-grown divisions in spring and fall.
