I love it - weird looking thing, as it is. But be warned, they go to seed and you get them everywhere.... and it's hard to get the adults out as they grow long, long roots.

But if you're in the north of England it's OK, because it's biennial - you don't have to worry about the adults.

My problem is making sure I leave at least one of the babies to become next year's adult. It's something that has always been in the garden, both my garden now and my parents' when I was a child. It wouldn't seem right not to have at least one of them around ;-)
