Who has the biggest.........................Weed?
Can you beat this? A verbascum or Great Mullen which got to a height of 2.9m before it hit an overhanging tree and snapped
 This spring it made a magnificent rosette of leaves 1.75m acoss which then rose rapidly to the flower spike. What is the definition of a weed? CK is holding the remnants of it, Couldn't get far enough away from it to photograph it growing. Please note Composting in progress !!

Oh! Well done, my Great Mullein only got to eight foot. I did get a load of Mullein Moth catterpillers though! Lovely patterns.
Got two plants at the flat whorl stage at the moment - one is in the patio so is a weed on the definition of 'a plant in the wrong place', the other is in the border so can stay!

Mullein's not a weed! I shake it all about, so to speak, when they seed, as I love them!

A weed is a plant in the wrong place.

Like BW I make a habit of cultivating weeds. Just keep them under control  Sowed a load of Ragged Robin this year and it seems to be doing well.
