I took on my first allotment a few months back and created three beds from an area which I then dug over, deweeded, covered with cardboard and about 3 or 4 inches of manure. I planted some corn, sunflowers and runner beans in each one using a bulb planted but now these two weeds are popping up everywhere. They have got really long roots - anyone know what they are please?

The first one is fat hen in my opinion, and tastes a bit like spinach. The second looks a bit like a strawberry.Last edited by Mikey; 09-07-2013, 12:31 PM.I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus. -
Last one could be Tormentil?Comment
