JDog Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ignore my obtuse friend Motty. It certainly looks like an early formed flower head and yes it is rape and not Charlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Neal Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I drove past a rape field last week that had about 1-2% coverage of yellow! I even stopped in a layby to check it wasn't weeds, definitely the rape in flower. Unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some rap verities used for industrial/bio-diesel production contain harmful chemicals, to-be on the safe side give some to the wife first, if she doesn't spend all night on the loo your ok to go.

stoxs Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Yes this is the early stages of budding/ flowering, would guess about 4-6 weeks away from full flower. also remember these palnts will grow nearly 1ft per week in the next 6 weeks!! Fertilzer will be due very soon this will speed the process up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotguneddy Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I thought kale to but on inspection it's definitely rape, the cannon that's been put there kind of backs that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
