Hi,
The lady next door, who has recently moved, had a small section of plants she tended to and I would like to continue taking care of them. Can you please let me know this plant is and some advice on looking after it? Also, can cuttings be taken for in doors?
Thanks.

It's wild mustard I think, it will grow from seed easily.

thank you nutculet, it certainly looks like it could be!
That looks like one of the brassicas that has 'bolted' or run up to flower - it could be rocket, or radish, cabbage or one of the oriental mustard leaves, or even wild mustard or oilseed rape.
The insects will like it but it's a biennial - one of those plants that will flower, set seed and then die - nothing really that you need to do.
Nice thought tho'

Very pretty. I like to have a few of those around
I don't think it needs looking after much but you will need to leave it to set seed for the following year.
Not an indoor plant

Think most of the brassicas do that when they run to seed Edd
