These things are going crazy in the top corner of the garden. Impossible to dig out as roots so deep but what on earth are they?
Suggestions welcome the one by the house I zapped! CLX

Interesting and sorry, don't know.  Unless it is some type of dock with much lusher and broader leaves that the type we have here. 

They look very similar to those hosta thingies that people treasure and slugs devour.  Could you think of them as a sort of hosta and give them garden room?    Probably not!, but they are an impressive looking plant and I am also curious what they are.

It looks very similar to something we called burr as kids, it wasn't for years till I realised it was Burdock.

It looks like Burdock to me too.

Watch out for the seed heads if you allow it to flower.

Thanks guys - yes I remember those horrible burr flowers from our previous garden. Sticky and impossible to get out of dog coats!
Think this is going to have to go......
Lovely offer of dandelions - we have lots thanks!
