Is it not growing wild anywhere near you? Its range covers the whole of

Nothing I've ever seen, it might well have grown in Swansea valley after

Also yesterday I tore a muscle in the calf of my right leg, was told to
apply ice pack and to keep off it for 4 weeks, fat chance at this time
of year.
planting today played hell with my thighs but seems to have helped my calves
