Joan J raspberries.  They even grow on the brick path between plots.  They are worse than triffids  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Well, I would have to agree asbean, they are a smidge on the invasive side. ;D ;D ;D.  The thing in their favour has to be the taste.

Jerusalem artichokes........They will be dug up and several sets planted in a wood near us to go wild and we can dig as we need and provide good wild bird cover !!!

Only good thing they bring to the lottie is wind break and brown stuff for the composter.

check out the 'aliens' thread
have you the land-owners permission to plant artichokes(nearly impossible to get rid of once planted)

broccoli rabe, bolted and turned into a weed.
Jerusalem artichokes, still getting rid of, tho I like them in soup. but we planted them 2 years ago and still digging up tubers!

Outdoor tomatoes, as above, and also outdoor cucumbers. They produced 1 fruit each then got mildew badly and have come out! :-\
