Located with a distant view of the River Deben in Suffolk and open to meadows. I am trying to merge the garden with the wild indigenous plants.

Looks a bit like ornamental kale @Davidward have a look through the pictures of mine on my profile, see what you think. Might need to go back a bit, before it went mental this year 🤣🤣

I have this too! I thought I had dropped some quinoa seeds but couldn't figure out the purple. Have a look here and see what you think. http://www.juliasedibleweeds.com/recipes/magenta-spreen/

@Mikekally @CheerfulandLiterate thank you both very much. Magenta Spreen looks to be an interesting edible plant with lots of healthy vitamins
