Plant identity please. Growing stronger and larger every day in dry and shady conditions, I thought maybe this was Silverweed (potentilla anserina). Not silver on the underside, though I'm sure it's a weed.....any ideas please?

I only know it as a weed too, but think of it as a type of wild kale?

I suppose it could have been from a seed dropped by a bird Drc.......

Brasicaceae, swede or turnip?

May leave it then Bulba...Lol! Haven't grown either here though.

I think it might be hedge mustard Sisymbrium officinale. it is certainly a crucifera and might even be oil seed rape.

They grow very fast, but very easy to remove not much of a root.

Nope, Janey, I haven't run into that one, yet. I kind of hope that I don't, too--we don't need yet another weed here! : )

I get them in my border and dig them up as a weed.
