As they say, every day's a school day. A new word for me  Forb

I'm sure you horticulturists will know the word, but it was new to me today
Never heard of it!
Wiki says

A forb or phorb is a herbaceous flowering plant that is not a graminoid (grass, sedge, or rush). The term is used in biology and in vegetation ecology, especially in relation to grasslands and understory. Typically these are dicots without woody stems.

I found it on a site dedicated to strawberry growing. I'm still trying to figure out what a didcot is apart from being a station or train preservation centre
This train now calling at Dicot, Reading and Paddington. Definitely not Dicot. Wink
