Found these guys popping underneath a seaberry bush, also pictured: apple, pear, tomatillo, yarrow, coreopsis, walking onions, garlic chives, and rhubarb. Food forests are fun.

Gn, you got yourself some beautiful land there 🫡
Thanks, I'm tending and modifying the orchard and garden at my in-laws place. Someday I'll take what I've learned, and a crap ton of plant material, and have a space of my own like this.
Good looking comfrey.
Dude, it's almost 4 ft tall. It is so happy this year.
I'm always surprised at how big they get. Plans to chop it? If so, how many times before it goes to bed in the fall?
I'm thinking on chopping 1 plant at a time every 3 days or so. They're blooming so well that I don't like the idea of cutting them all at once but i think a managed rotation seems like I could get a few cuts on every plant over the season. We usually hit a really dry spell from June through August here, so I am not sure how quick they'll rebound come summer. Some will get dropped in place and I'll probably fill a bucket to make the stinky extract liquid.
I like that plan.
If I recall, you have an established comfrey operation. Do you have a protocol?
I had to give it up when we moved. I was doing Bocking 4. Had hundreds of them that I had propagated from a dozen root cuttings. nostr:npub1ugnq57hn8va6xqr5zywy2eunem6c624583vkt0dmv40ep7tnnxkqrr898l has my root stock now so I can vouch for his Bocking 4 line. He also has Bocking 14 which is better for forage.
Here is the episode I did on comfrey:
