I've spotted several cabbage plants growing in the garden! Wonderful,
but I didn't plant them! We had a bird seed spillage earlier in the
year - didn't see anything that sounded cabbagey on the list though.
Although I don't know what dari is!

Ahh yeah prob - will check the bag in the morning. I did toy earlier
in the year with buying a huge sack of it and covering the field at
the back in it, and just seeing what grew./ Probably only ever so
slightly naughty though.

I don't think bird seed has that weed in any more, for just that reason.
Used to be a very common plant on landfill sites.

Just go to a Fishing Tackle shop and buy some Hemp seed (if it's still
available), used to use it boiled for catching Roach etc.

I've seen a variety of some cabbage growing wild on the south coast of
England. It looked strange seeing it growing there, somehow out of place
growing on the beach. It must have a high salt tollerance.

You can buy henp seed at a supermarket - well, Waitrose anyway.

No good for roach though. Doesn't even taste wonderful.

That is a real wild cabbage, I've seen it growing as far north as Scotland.

And eaten it :-)

I've seen what I've assumed to be a wild form of Brassica oleraceus
(yellow-flowered crucifers tend to look similar) growing just above the
beach on the coast of Galloway.

Could be Crambe Maritima or "Sea Kale" which is nice to eat.

White-flowered ones can be non-trivial to identify, too :-)

Whatever this is something is scoffing it as fast as it can grow. I
have seen a couple of caterpillas in the area but none on it yet.
(There was a very strange red streaked one that looked just the same
colour as the fence paint OH was using last week...)

I know; I've currently got a Lepidium awaiting identification.
