    Do you know what kind, by any chance?

    It could be a perennial one, Fragrant Sunshine is one yellow variety, but yours looks a bit more gold/orange toned than that. Or it could be one of the many varieties that are usually grown as biennials because they tend to get leggy if you keep them after the first year's flowering is over.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Not sure if it’s a perennial,  they don’t set seeds, sterile plants,  these have the long seed pods.

    So it does! Probably one of the biennial ones then. Or possibly a wild brassica of some sort but they're normally a lighter yellow like rapeseed.
