Thanks everyone.
If you post it with flowers that would be good then hopefully we will all know for the future.

I thought it looked hollyhock ish and if is its very healthy because usually mine are all dried out when sun is out - think they prefer shade? I thought at first glance though hibiscus.....? CB

Oooh...that would be nice. I don’t mind what it is as long as it’s a safe feed. Now I wonder how long it’ll take to flower.....
I thought I had loads of forget-me-not come up but then realised it was one of the Brunnera flowering. First time it’s done that...very pretty but not edible.

My ones get really tall and the flowers are close in to the stalk but I'm not sure if they are all the same or if there are different types of them. Your leaves look on the photo like they are smooth whereas on my ones they are a rough texture. Mine are not growing yet, we still have snow on the hills despite being into the 3rd day of heat

Yes, they’re smooth. I’ll wait and see what flowers. I’ll be watching and waiting every day now.

Ugh to the snow! You’ve had such a lot of it this winter and spring and now we’re heading into the summer, I bet you’ll be glad to see the back of it.

Here it is with flowers. Are we all thinking Mallow?





Also had this one open up. I'm pretty certain it's foxglove and needs replanting elsewhere.
So pretty but so toxic.
