Unknown Plant

Hi.

I have recently moved house and this is my first garden. I am a bit of a novice when it comes to gardening and I have found a plant which I do not know what it is. There are quite a lot of them, growing next to the house and in the soil around the edge of the garden. 

Does anyone know what they are? Thanks for your help.

    Euphorbia lathyris - use gloves when you pull it out as it produces a latex type sap which is a irritant

    Euphorbia lathyris. It's biennial. Watch for the white juice that exudes when the stem is damaged, it's a skin irritant, can be nasty



    In the sticks near Peterborough
  • Thank you very much for that. I have two small dogs so I think I will pull them out.

    Good idea with your woofa's. All parts are poisonous too.
