Wooder Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Had a walk around today, unfortunately for me a farm I shoot regularly has put quite a few of its fields to grass for their sheep, as they had a major black grass problem. One of the newly sown grass fields has a lot of the plants pictured, yellow flower, it has rough prickly pointed leaves and a red stalk.

aga man Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 looks like charlock to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Two possibles...as above possibly charlock ( Sinapsis arvensis) or Jack- by- the- hedge (Alliaria officinalis) strange it has flowers because both flower May through the summer. The flowers of both are very similar. If there are seed pods that might help identify it better.

Walker570 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Yeh Yeh Yeh !!! I thought there might be some pods from previous flowers as both plants tend to progressively flower and set pods as they go on the same stem.. Strange there are flowers now if it is either of those two. Edited December 23, 2018 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I would also go with charlock. Often found in rape fields where some people might think that the rape is flowering early. Plenty of it in the rape around here. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
