I almost forgot this yearly ritual of finding out what I am growing.

First pic on left, with drooping purple flowers.
I'd be ever so appreciative, if someone could tell me what it is.

Thanks.

 Could be Comfrey as the flowers look right but not a broad leaf
comfrey.  The small spines say comfrey too.

You folks are GOOD ;O) Comfrey it is. I started it last year, the
masking tape labels came off the pots, the writing faded, and my
thoughts went elsewhere. Cool, a new toy to play with.

Thank you again, Pat, and Bill.
