Hello, can someone identifying this large green plant please - is it a weed?

Thanks everyone - I've now taken another photo it's a better view!

Thanks

Weed! looks like some type of cabbage... not sure what it is from this distance, but it's not something you want in that spot.

Don't think it is a cabbage but definitely not something you want there, out with it!

I get this it doesn't develop into anything you would want to keep.

Looks a bit like Kale to me. A weed is simply a plant in the wrong place so I reckon this one qualifies.

Sorry I do not know the real name for this weed. It is perennial and removing the leaves just encourages it to produce more leaves, so dig out the roots. I very wrongly call it hogweed but its real name escapes me.

Are you sure it's not just a normal sow thistle ?

I'm sure it's a Sow Thistle, probably Sonchus oleraceus. Pull it up!

I've looked at Brassica leaves - could this be Broccoli? - looks very similar!

Still needs pulling up right by the front door...

could it be oilseed rape or mustard?

Yes Moongrower, you are absolutely right, out it must go, it's an eyesore right at the front door.

Thanks Kennyboy it does look similar to Oilseed.

Thanks all!
