FWIW, I got 3 packs (10 seeds each) of comfrey back in August. Suggestion to put seeds in damp soil and chill. Here's what I did with and without everyone's suggestions. (Isn't that how us garden folk work?!!!)
Put 10 in a peat pellet tray, dampened, in the crisper drawer of frig. Couple wks later put 10 in peat pellet thingie in shaded area.
I had pulled out the chilled, and now have both little trays sprouting. Of course like any new parent check hourly. The bigger ones still just have 1st leaves, and a bit of root down through the bottom.
Next issue. I had planned to pot up in gal black pots, be ready for spring. I am out of town for 3 days, just when I need to pay attention! Did that ever happen to you?* I am thinking to have them damp, back under eaves with bright light, no rain. I may put some potting soil under the pellets for the baby roots. Then next week can lift each out and do the bigger pot.

Eric, what a question! Not sure!!!!!
I will put a couple more in my beds come spring. Several asked about it this season. I can offer comfrey starts in spring.
As a fellow garden person, What was I thinking?!
It's all good.
Perhaps we should start a thread...What Was I thinking?! Be real, honest, humble, and most of all humor. Been there done that.
