    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

    Looks like Mullein?

      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???

                    Went to the plot yesterday and discover someone has removed all the grass from outside my gate(Another plot neighbour did this for me)
                    Started to clear the path down the side of the beds and at the end I discovered a compost bin and an apple tree. I can now get to the pond.
                    Another plot...
