    Meanwhile, any thoughts on this rocket look alike. 

    While the leaves appear like garden rocket, they don't seem to be wild rocket. I hope I'm not mistaking a common dandelion here but the leaves seem a lot more numerous.

    That looks to me like Shepherds Purse. :)

    Looks like another positive call. Another keeper if you will.

    Any thoughts on this one?


    Any chance its a brassica that would need to come out?

    I think that might be wintercress, Barbarea Vulgaris.

    Cheers Borderline. If its a brassica should I not remove it from the wildflower meadow?

    I was told today that this one is a problem and that it shouldn't be allowed to flower. 



    It does seem to be spreading aggressively but with a light shallow root that is easily removed.
