Allotments 4 All

Hi All i'm fairly new here and feel a bit cheeky asking but i'd love some horseradish, Comfrey, Jerusalem artichokes and borage.  If anyone has any spares I have lots of flower and veg seeds so hopefully i'll have something you may desire! :)  Very happy to send S.A.E etc

I've nothing now, but I get borage growing like a weed on my plot; I'll have to save seed this year. This isn't the first request I've seen for it.

JUST SEND A BIG CHUNK OF COMFREY ROOT. THAT'LL WORK BETTER AND FASTER ANYWAY.

I have horseadish (it's my number 1 weed!). I'm very busy during the next two weeks, but if you're prepared to wait I will dig you some up .

I can do JA's pm me with your address.

I am usually over-run with borage ... if you would like some plants when they come through just let me know !  ;D

ooh how lovely thanks for all your replies i'll set to pm - ing  ;D my OH has been moaning he's an A4A widow!!  :o he'll be well chuffed now!

oops  :-[  I maybe partly to blame then 'cos I posted a link to the origami pots page once...

yes i think it was you  ;D but they are looking lovely made about 4 dozen my fingers were black! trained the kids to do them now so they can get just as messy got a production line going now :)

A have a very pretty variegated comfrey but I'm saving it for the plant sale... again Horseradish no probs... dig it out every year... it only encourages it! Borage "weeds" too....

Basically i've asked to fill my plot with weeds!  :o

Yes that sums it up nicely  ;)!
By the way, I have the variegated comfrey too, but it's not as good as the regular kind for for using as a fertiliser.
Picture here: http://www.herrenkampergaerten.de/Stauden/symphytum.html (2nd one from the top) Symphytum grandiflorum 'Goldsmith'
Let me know if you like a little shoot of this too. I have plenty.

Just been moaned at by my mum apparently the field next to her house is full of comfrey so no need to grow it i can use as much of the wild stuff as i like :)

Dandelion would it be cheeky to ask if you had a shoot of Goldsmith to spare for me too ??  :-\

Flowerlady, just pm you address and I'll send you a bit at the end of March.

Hello Dandelion

If you rememeber you very kindly sent me a root of horseradish last year which is still growing well.  I did however have it in a pot near my greenhouse and it was wonderful because at least once a week I would come out and a couple of slugs would be lying on their backs frothing.  Not sure it it killed them - lobbed them into the carpark on the other side of the fence. 

I will be taking root cuttings this we of 2.5cm each and potting them into smaller pots to place around my potatoe patch on the lottie this year - I believe it makes a good companion plant but needs to be contained.

Kind regards

Jitterbug

do you still get enough root to eat some if you grow it in pots??  i'm addicted to the stuff i shove it on everything love it with fish but i've been told that the fresh stuff is awesome cant wait to try it and if it kills slugs too its a double winner :D

Do you still need borage seeds? I have some ready to go..........
