Not round here, pretty much like the pic.

It doesnt flower for a particularly long time before podding up...

its rape. it will go yellowy brown soon as it drys and if you break the pods you will find tiny black seeds whicfrom which the oil is extracted.

pain in the arse when planted across a RoW and the farmer hasnt sprayed a path though.

In the Farmers defence, if its planted in a field with a legit ROW, 90% of the time, the footpath is established as the crop grows, therefore no need for machetes etc ?
