Thanks also for asking us to help identify your plant #PlantID. Fellow GT'ers are you able to help Gayle? @PlantDoctor @David @barbaramatthews @justin @richard.spicer.7906 @thedanielrichards @Garyg @linfoster @joanboston @mr_plantgeek @tiggrx @kathy @mikethegardener @GREENFINGERSLTD @jamesshobbs
The plant is just shooting to seed now and there doesn't appear to be any bulb or significant root to show. When I pick the leaves I get a red staining on my hands as you would with beetroot. (Not sure how to add another photo on this feed)
Thank you. Now I have to decide whether to keep it or dig it out. Are there any practical uses for it or is the compost the best option. I'm worried now that if it goes to seed u may never get rid of it. I only have a small garden and try to make all space useful.
You can find lots of info from Google. It is a very striking plant. It would come down to what you want for your space.Never grown it myself,sorry @gaylark.
Help me identify this plant

Oh very interesting plant...sorry no idea. @nej any idea? @gaylark
I think it's some sort of edible beet but haven't been game to try it yet. It is very attractive but I'd like to know if I can eat it.

Sorry @gaylark @leisel can't help you with this one
It will helpful if you can get pictures of the root or flower.

Rumex sanguineus ' bloody dock' or' bloody sorrel '@gaylark is an edible green. Slightly bitter.
