Sow-thistles flower from June to October. Shown here is most probably the Perennial Sow-thistle (Sonchus arvensis) although other species were tangled in with the plants making identification difficult. Sow thistles were once used in salads and to cure a range of illnesses. Pictured Old Warden early September 2005.
