Question
A plant starts growing in my organic garden by itself. I have no idea what kind of plant is it? So, I would like to send the picture of plant to verify the name. Is it an herbal plant, edible, or not? Appreciate to call me if it is possible. Phone # 714-821-4423 Your effort greatly appreciated Thanks jh
Answer
Dear jhoooman, the plant looks like Sinapis alba (white charlock), a member of the Brassicaceae (mustard family). You should see four yellow petals in each flower with the sepals (below the petals) spreading away from the petals (rather than being appressed to them), as in this photograph: http://www.monde-de-lupa.fr/Pelouses/ImagesPel/Sinapis%20img/Sinapis%20alba%20Neuves%20Maisons%2027-11-09%20050.jpg. Best wishes.
