Is that 'Dock' leaf thin looking, and feels a bit thin and rubbery ..??
If it is....then its not a Dock Leaf...I think these feel quite rough, tough leaves.
I think its a dandilion..there are many types you know. I think someone else will be able to tell you how many types...I think I have heard Paul say before. (Paul??)

I wouldn't say it looks rubbery but that's just me lol
are the one's I'm growing ok to feed now? thanks AGAIN lol x

The dandys are ok, but only say once or twice per week. Clover is fine, plantain is excellent. Try and get some greater plantain, this is everywhere and it seems to thrive in the dry.

Mix all this with a little bit of Rommaine lettuce and finish with a dusting of nutrobal.
Sorted. xxx

thanks Rach. when it's dryer I will go and see whats about as it's been wet here for a while =( So Are the ones I'm growing ok to feed now then Rach? I got a 4 tier greenhouse thing in the week and more seeds so that's now full of weeds n flowers waiting to grow x

[yuna1971]

Lets see a pic of them, but as long as none of them are ragwort....then probably ok. But hard to say without seeing what they are growing like.
How long have they been outside, and I presume in unfertilised topsoil???
In terms of weed 'growing' I am not an expert (in fact I am rubbish! ) but I think ClaireN is a good person to ask, expect she will be on during the evening or morning. I always call her the Weed Queen...but she gets all embarassed, so I wont say it...!!
You wont need to walk far though Cara, to get Broadleaf plantain as believe me if you dont see it integrated in amongst grassy areas...you will find huge leaves in tall grassy dry places....Honestly, its everywhere and you never know, pick enough of it and you might get it to grow in your own garden next year!!! (If you dont already!!)
See if Claire comes on about the weed growing and when its safe to feed. Or anyother weed growing experts!!

i should imagine their ok they've been grown from the sw seeds and yup I planted them in top soil =D will try get some pics of them a bit later on o and yes grown in wee pots outside for the last 5 weeks or so x

No. 2, has the pattern in the leaf saying Red Clover, the colour tint could be the camera lighting plating trick, or it is not a healthy specimen.

Bit confused, as i know all clovers are green, red clover is the colour of the flower to call it red. Green with a white'ish pattern in the leaf. Just to check where was it picked from.
