I had no idea that perennial buckwheat (Fagopyrum acutatum syn. F. dibotrys) and skirret (Sium sisarum) could be 2.5m ( 8 feet) tall! Probably a result of our cold wet spring which promotes growth, but delays flowering! The buckwheat is at the front and you can see the flower umbels of skirret at the back!
