I'm thinking along the lines of Chicory but don't know what might be likely in that region.

Does look like chicory. Chicory is a wide-spread naturalized yet alien plant here in the US. It was an escapee from cultivation. Here in NY State, it is a common plant to see along roadsides with their distinctive blue flowers.

Nearly 10 years ago I left some chicory in the veggie garden to bloom the next year and collect seed. I collected seed but the goldfinches "collected" their own seed as well. They dispersed as much seed as they ate. I've had chicory around the veggie beds since - it's easy to see how it originally became naturalized.

Thanks. That looks very helpful. I'll study it today. My initial list, from browsing the seed catalogs, includes: Bush beans -- second planting in late July Collards Kale Mustard grees Turnips Chard Spinach Bok Choi Chinese cabbage Lettuce Endive Escarole Carrots Beets Parsley root Peas Celariac -- if I get it started right now I was reluctant to move into the region of blistering summer heat, but the ability to garden year round is a good compensation for spending 8 weeks in mid-summer hiding in the house with the AC on.

That's a Nigella, probably Nigella damascena, AKA Love-in-a-mist. An annual that can self sow a lot! Marcia

Well, the oxtongues and hawkweeds have Aster type flowers that grow from basal rosettes. The cut leaved evening primrose seems to be a perfect fit, if you consider the variations in leaf shape and flower color. I believe Em is correct, and this plant is a cut leaved evening primrose, with flowers more on the orange side of flower color variation. Thank you Em and fatamorgana for the imput. Speaking of Hieracium, I really love H. venosum, and have been searching for seeds. Ordered H. maculatum just in case I can't find H. venosum.
