Comfrey looks sad in its bucket but still flowering

The comfrey is starting to come out in flower, although I would not describe it as a happy looking plant in the bucket

The goji bush is very slowly growing. If that ever gets over watered it doesnt look happy but although slow it is growing. I do need to put it in a larger bucket soon

the rocket and parlsey are growing very well. The rocket plant is 2years old this being it second summer, it is very peppery but very nice to eat

To say we have had quite a bit of wet weather over the last week, I noticed my tubs were really dry tonight (they got a good watering) specifically the plum trees and gooseberry/currant bushes

Weather report - Sunny all day and generally really nice, Wakefield, England

Love is in the air

To say I do not like Lovage as I just find it does not have a purpose. Lovage seems to like my garden as it is now standing at nearly 6ft tall. I wish all my plant experiences were this successful. It is grown in a semi shaded spot getting sun only in a morning, not bad really

This is another one of my many mints. Ginger mint. it has yellow variegated leaves, I had trouble last year keeping the leaves variegated but I found keeping it in the shade kept the yellowness in the leaf

The comfrey is still in the pot and is unlikely to ever get out of it at this rate, in my opinion it is not growing to its full potential in the pot and seems to only be surviving. I have comfrey growing at my Fathers and that plant is in full blossom

On a final note. a little but of raspberry blossom, this is one of the plants in the tub

Comfrey

I have some comfrey and after growing it for two years, I have still not decided where to put it or if I want it long term as it is known to spread. For now it grows well in a bucket and in the bucket it will stay for now
