    Hello all. My mate wants to know what this, and I don’t have a clue because it’s not a vegetable.

    Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
    By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
    While better men than we go out and start their working lives
    At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard Kipling

      Agreed Mullein. Nice specimen. Self seeds everywhere.

          That's interesting. We have this in assorted places, but it never seems to flower as prettily as the Wikipedia links show. I always treat it as a weed. Perhaps I should choose a couple of specimens to treat nicely.

                Are the spikes hard or soft?
                Looks like one of the Lamiacae?sp (mint family).
                Maybe yellow archangel???
