    Vegetable Growing 2026

    Good to see somebody else does these too. Have been surprised to find these are quite frost hardy; the earliest sowing were planted outside and have mainly survived the winter.

    Could anyone identify this plant please?

    Thank you everyone. That seems to be unanimous! Looks an attractive flower and plant so I'll leave it alone.
