Horseradish for...?I have horseradish.
I want comfrey (root cuttings or plants), but I'm open to other offers.

We have comfrey, some could probably do with coming out of the potato bed, but it doesn't have a name (some are pale blue and some are dark). I couldn't guarantee its edibility and it's more prolific - read "invasive" - than the Bocking 14 (I believe).
But we don't want any horseradish

We have some comfrey we have been trying to get rid of for a few years and can dig up some at the weekend!

Cab, I think Bear and I are proving that horseradish for comfrey might be something of an equal swap

English or Russian, Russian is best for liquid manure I believe although their is a special strain I believe.

IIRC "Bocking 14"?

That's the one I was thinking about.

Apparently (according to Jekka McVicar, who isn't sitting here with me, I just have a book) the Bocking one has 2-3 times as much hmm potassium (I had to look it up again) as common or wild comfrey..but that's still good.

Have you two considered the possibility of *talking* to each other. I'm told it's relatively simple, though you may have to turn away from your computers briefly.

I was *talking* to him! I told him the name *twice* this evening, so don't *you* asterisk *me*, you jumped up little *schoolboy* you
(Anyway, we haven't got two computers since the drama with Dell - we're sharing a remarkably quick and sturdy handmedown from our surrogate dog's owners. How Downsizery is that? )

Ah well, in that case you have my sympathy, he's obviously deaf.

Awfully polite of you not to dwell on the fact that he might be ignoring me - after all, who would want to? Even if they got the opportunity...

Blimey, all the comfrey in the world
It's really for green manure, and most strains are fairly good for that; whichever comfrey has pretty flowers will do me.
So if you chaps (Paddington, Bugs) haven't got such an interest in horseradish, what else can I offer you?
(Bugs, did you get the seeds?).

Cab: the lemon curd is now cooling on the dresser! In the post tomorrow, I hope.

Cab, on the contrary we would love some horseradish to have with our Sunday roast (even better than marmalade sandwiches) if you want to swap.

The HR is coming up like cress. I should get about 25-30 plants from the thongs you sent which I chopped into about 1" peices and put inot 4 large pots. Some to keep and some to give away! Bliss.
