Name that weed
Someone of another Ng has posted a photo of a weed we used to have on a
previous allotment, but do you think I can remember the name!!! Perennial, too deep rooted to dig out, reddish roots ( we called it Red Root), hairy/spiny stem to 2 metres, leaves alternate with spines underneath on the midrib. Possibly with yellow flowers but we never let it flower. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

It does have yellow flowers. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
