IS THIS COMFREY?

[Niki]

Hi
I know piggies can eat comfrey, i've seen a pic of it and this unknown weed/plant thing is growing wild at the bottom of my garden; it looks like the pic i've seen but i want to make sure before i feed it to my boys. Does anyone know if this is comfrey?

Thanks
Niki

I'll ask my mother (Caroline on this forum) as she is a gardener.

Thanks Lucinda,
I do know comfrey has purple flowers when it blooms, this hasn't they're kind of white bobbly things at the moment.
It's never grown before and i only noticed it bout 2 weeks ago, it seems to have sprung up from nowhere and has gone mad LOL
I'll not be feeding it to 'them before i know exactly what it is.

Here's a good close up of a comfrey plant, they do look slightly diferent. The veins are different

Thanks Bev
I can definitely see on your pic that this "thing" in my garden is def NOT comfrey. It can now be gotten rid of
