Its fodder Vetch which is a domestic form of the wild vetch we usually see, fodder vetch grows well most of the year and will thrive in sheltered areas through the winter, its demise is usually due to heavy frosts,

Fodder vetch is grown to replace nitrogen in the soil

Default Isn't it typical!

I have loads of Vetch growing wild in my garden in Shropshire and both of mine show now interest in it!

Still lots of plantain and dandies tho - but would love to give more variety during their first winter.
