What's this weed?

[spudulike]

Seen loads of this weed growing like...a weed in the hedgerows around Norfolk. 

It looks like cow parsley in the construction of the taller stems and flowers but the leaves are very shiny and not feather like as cow parsley is.

Seems to be damn invasive and is everywhere. 

Just wondering what it is!

Its Horse Parsley - Alexanders. It grows well in Devon & Cornwall and pretty well all parts of it are edible if you find yourself short of veg.

Pipped at the post ?

Interesting, thanks, growing like bonkers round here but on the coast and it seems to like that. 

So....what did the Romans do for us.....introduced Horse Parsley!!!
