*Note: as someone has pointed out, this is NOT comfrey. Comfrey has bell shaped flowers. I had not yet bothered to verify it's identity and simply took it for what my friends believed it to be. If anyone can tell me what it is, I would love some help identifying it. It isn't borage but may very well be in the Boraginaceae family- those flowers look a lot like forget-me-nots but the foliage on the plant is a lot more like borage or comfrey. At the base the leaves are quite large and form a big clump. Anyone know?





This is my potato bed with most of my thyme plants. I missed the opportunity to get an early crop of thyme for drying. I don't personally like drying and using stems that have flowered. However, if your thyme is like mine and you'd like to get a good harvest in a month or so, I suggested giving them a trim now. I plan to do that for mine in the next couple of days. I used thyme more than any other garden herb.
The potatoes need mulching but I haven't got a way to get a big bale of hay to our house right now. So they'll just have to wait.
I also managed to get planted seven artichoke plants: 5 Violetta and 2 Green Globe. I put them in a raised bed that's 8' x 4' which if the artichokes grow well will barely be able to contain them. I didn't have another spot prepared for them and needed to get them dug in so it'll have to do. I can always transplant them later if need be.
I bought, but haven't planted, 6 tomatoes: Caspian Pink, Green Zebra, Black From Tula, Pruden's Purple, Sun Gold, and Striped German.
