Any flowers on it or look like they could be appearing? that usually make identification easier.

To my untrained eye it looks like wild rocket but i would be very surprised (and impressed with myself :) ) if it was!!!

ArkAngel,
Funny you should say rocket. I was thinking the last time I saw something like this was in a bag at Tesco's. Hence the reason I asked about the habitat. Certainly don't see this in my part of the world

mmmh i hope it is,
its growing in amongst nettles thistles and as you can see cleavers, on a field. feild has not been used for atleast 60-80 years for farming and so the soil is pretty good, quite acidic with bog myrtle and sorrel growing in a wetter area. reliatvely dry area not got its feet in water but nor is it on raised ground.

im sure thers a lot of useless information in there but i slept in this area last night so the memories are fresh :)

Thanks
John

*edit, no flowers if i remember correctly, this photo was taken about 6 weeks ago btw

HHmmmm....

If you're passing that was again try a bit! :)

Nice and peppery = wild rocket, dead = something else :D

It sounds a definate possibility with sorrel and the likes in the area.
