Wild Radish Raphanus raphanistrum

An "also look out for" from Black Mustard. I am afraid that you should not expect little red tubers which you can slice in a salad - this is a comparatively sizeable plant, very similar to Black Mustard but with deeply lobed leaves. It is fairly common in the south-eastern half of England, less so elsewhere. Its cousin, the Sea Radish (R. raphanistrum subsp. maritimus) is even larger and restricted mostly to the southern and western coasts of Britain and to the coast of Northern Ireland. With both plants use just the young leaves - they taste exactly like a radish.
