Can anyone identify this? It popped up in a tray of seedlings where I’d planted sweetcorn, tomatoes and Swiss chard but I have no idea what it is.

Hard to tell, seems to have furry leaves, nearest I can come up with is a weed called “Fat Hen” it grows very tall and you don’t want it on your garden.

Yes, it’s one of the Chenopodiums, probably Fat Hen. That dusty look is pretty diagnostic. Very good lightly boiled like spinach. Lots of related species are on sale as vegetables, eg Giant Goosefoot/Magentaspreen, Good King Henry, and I think Aztec Broccoli is another

But of course double check my id before eating
