I was given a packet of seeds as part of a birthday card and these came up, how they seem to be all over the garden too. Does anyone know what they are? Thank you
It looks like the plant that was mentioned on "Love Your Garden" last night that Francis Tophill thought that every garden should have! Sadly I can't remember what it was called and it's not listed on the website. But the programme is repeated several times on ITV
You are a knowledgeable lot! Once you all put me on the right track I've pinned it down to Sun Spurge - Euphorbia helioscopia. As you pointed out Exdancer the sap can cause blisters. However on one website I searched it said about the sap: "In Plants Britannica, Richard Mabey mentions that Manx fisherman applied the sap as an aphrodisiac, and that its name in Wiltshire was ‘Saturday Night’s Pepper’ ". My mind is boggled thinking about it . Thank you for all your help x
I drive myself mad on my walks when looking at plants and trees...not knowing what they are. I downloaded an app to my phone called Plantnet and you take a photo and it searches for a match. Bingo!
I have an app called “Picture This” that identifies plants from my pictures. I enjoy using it on my walks or even when an odd weed springs up in my garden. I find it very interesting!
Has anyone ever seen this crop before? I certainly haven’t. From a distance it shone silver almost like silver birch in the sun. There were acres of it spread across fields. As we got closer we could see it was in flower and at the bottom some kind of pea and bean pods were growing. Crop was about 3 feet tall. This was in mid September.
