Def not rocket, leaves too coarse.  As no-one suggested anything edible I dug them all up and composted.  Another of life's little mysteries...  Thanks all

silly question but what is the easiest way to get rid of the pesky blighter as it is everywhere on our plot. Thanks.

It spreads from the tiniest bit of root, so a glyphosate based weedkiller is the easiest way.  You can dig it out, but you will have to be meticulous about clearing the roots.

Glyphosate kills all plants, so you will have to work around any crops you have in.

Look a bit like a globe artichoke but could be a cardoon ? Better to see the plant in its entirety. Does it die back in the summer to re-appear in the autumn? If it does my guess is artichoke :)

I think this maybe Pellitory Of The Wall, a weed which grows in walls, per the name!

Something I inherited with the plot. It lives in a corner of the greenhouse and happily climbs up a bamboo stick (in the way beans do). It gets to just short of 3ft tall and doesn't flower, dies back in the winter and then comes again very early spring.

That looks like a kiwi plant.  As it is well behaved and hasn't taken over the greenhouse, I would guess at the variety being a dwarf one.
