I plant it up and when it gets big enough,  just treat it as a cut and come again leaf. Works well for me. :)

just pinch off any leaves that you want to use, without taking them all off one plant at a time, then you can keep cropping as the plant throws out more leaves. I start with the outer ones before they get too leathery. If it looks like the plant is going to bolt, pinch out the top of the plant.
There's more comfrey here than you can shake a stick at!

Thanks, I guess it only takes a couple of minuts to cook?

It does for me - melt a knob of butter in the bottom of a big pan, sprinkle in a bit of Garam Massala and full the pan with spinach.  Once it's all wilted, it's ready.   :happy:
