These yellow flowers are Barbarea Vulgaris (I think... I am not a trained botanist.) also known as Yellow Rockets or Yellow Rocketcress. They are named after St. Barbara - patron saint of artillerymen and miners - as the flower was sometimes used to treat wounds caused by explosions. Apparently the leaves are edible.
