    Misprint of the mind Fishy, kidney vetch is what I meant

    Vetch tends to be a "scrambler" usually, I think - it likes to grow through other plants.  I've got some seedlings of a yellow one growing at the moment, to plant on my wildflower bank.  

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    I'm collecting members of the family at the moment. Lathyrus niger and L. sylvestris germinated this year.

    Probably be over-run by Anthyllis vulneraria by next year. If I give its proper name I won't get my tufted kidneys mixed up.

    No idea what my yellow one is - nor can I remember where I collected the seeds...  image

    image I've just had to google all those nut. So...the anthyllis vulneraria image needs no propagation then.

    The anthyllis has seedlings in the gravel by the GH, on the drive and in pots of other plants Fishy
