I think we may have called it 'hard head' - or that may have been its wild variant. It's a good do-er. (And we all need some of that.)

I love the comfrey that has naturalised in what seems to be acres of space around the woodshed.

I have been a fan of comfrey for years, So many uses and chicken love it. Great for compost and for making liquid fertiliser.
I love your knapweed, I love all blue flowers.
Thanks for the photo.

why call it a weed when it is so beautiful? I have some in my garden and it is great cos it seems to grow in any soil - including mine.

we have this in our garden and have never known what it was, so 'knapweed', eh? Wonder why?
