Some Comfrey from my garden :)I enjoyed drawing the peas so much, I thought I'd add a little something that is an old favourite. A shame the bumblebee I wanted to add disappeared when I sat down to draw!
"A casual glance around my garden will net you glimpses of old varieties of flowers and herbs.
Some I grow just because, some I grow for other reasons.
Comfrey I grow because it is beautiful, old, medicinal and a valuable garden plant.
Once called 'boneset' comfrey helps wounds and broken bones to heal faster.
Add the leaves to compost and it will aid decomposition and add nutrients.
It is a big draw for the humble-bumble and readily reproduces from the slightest piece of root!"
Beautiful, Rachel, and welcome to the botanical group!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so lovely, I would really like to see it!
ReplyDeleteYou really are quite talented, my dear!
Blessings,
Kim
Thank you Sioux, I am quite excited to join some very talented people!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim! The comfrey is a little past it's best, but I do enjoy it's flowers every year. I would quite happily girft some to a garden visitor as it seems to have been accidentally hit with my husband's hoe this (early) spring and I suddenly have 1/2 a dozen plants where once I had just one!
Yet another reason I wish we lived closer together!

By the way, I added a link to your blog in my side bar! Your under Homeschool Blogs on the left side. I couldn't decide between that and Homekeeping? Do you have a preference?
