Hi Suzie,

Found this... Some wild plants, such as borage, coltsfoot and comfrey should only be fed sparingly or when required as a first aid measure as they contain alkaloids which are damaging in excess.

Here is the link may be able to help you, http://www.galensgarden.co.uk/herbs/index.php

Thanks for that info and link Louise O0

Not a site I have come across before so I've bookmarked it to use again great as a reference point

Cheers again

Just noticed your avatar. Twinkle :smitten: looks like a bigger version of our 8 week old sow Sweep. Just started a topic about strange popcorning habits - she's the one who popcorns on your knee after a belly tickling session!

Feed all herbage sparingly and in a balanced mixture They really should be taken as seriously as veggies when feeding
