i bought a pack of meadow sprinkling seeds in a box last spring and I now have a rhubarb looking, quite large plant. I've tried to identify if but not really knowing much, I've had no luck.
However there is a plant which has big red stems and leaves, Hog weed. Not the nasty Giant hogweed one, but a fairly common native plant used once upon a time to feed pigs, hence the name.
Just had a look at some images of hogweed and it doesn't look like that. Sorry I can't get picture working. The leaves are really shiny, quite oval shaped with a thick red stem/vein up three quarters of the way. The actual stem of the plant looks like rhubarb. No other way of putting it lol. Each stem has just one leave on and there is a cluster of about ten to twelve stems.

can you supply a photo?
I'm trying, lol. Not sure how to do it on iPad...
someone will pop along with iPad expertise.
Never be afraid to ask "silly" questions. There's always someone who can answer them.
We all started with no knowledge.
Thanks, still trying
That does not work.
