W>>I can tell you this isn't the case in Oklahoma.  I only  know of a few 
places it grows,
W>> and I haven't heard *anyone* complain about it's invasiveness...  I have 
to get
W>> some of this,
 SP>   Perhaps I confused you, Wl-Ski. Let me start again. I have two rows in
 SP>   my garden of comfrey, which are still where I planted them 25 or more
 SP>   years ago.
***very good story, deleted***
 SP>   ... Next year he had a half acre of the stuff spread over the entire 
end of
 SP> the field.   I took that lesson to heart! :-)
 SP>   ... immediately ripped the baby plants out. Boy, that was a narrow 
escape!
 SP>   Normally my soil is too hot and dry to start leaves that way, but -
 SP>   the unexpected happens! :-)
... Boy, can I appreciate all that your story has to 
to say!   "the unexpected happens!"  is a true statement!    My comment 
was in reference to the
fact that Oklahoma would never be confused with the "Garden of Eden", and is 
(IMO) inhospitable to much gardening.  (I suppose that could be said of many 
places, it just
happens to be what *I* have to deal with at the present, and we all know that 
what each of us has to deal with is usually most in our minds at the time!   
:)
W>>...the reason that it doesn't become a problem, here,in Oklahoma... we
W>> don't have much "damp soil"!     Well, it doesn't stay "damp" for 
ng,
 SP>   I would gladly send comfrey roots to those who are searching for it,
 SP>   but I won't do it illegally.
Nor would I want you to... but, as I said, I *did* have an offer,... just 
can't seem to make contact with her now.  Oh well, God knows...   :)
W>> SP>   Of people born in 1839, 100% of carrot eaters are dead.
W>>Whew, am I glad I wasn't born in *that* year!  :)
 SP>   Me too! I love sweet organic carrots. :-)
Me, too!
