Plant ID

[Billybagpuss]

This one germinated in a pack of basil, it’s clearly not basil so I stuck it in a pot to see if we get a nice bonus plant.

any suggestions, I know it’s early days.

The cotyledon looks like cabbage family but could be a lot of other things. I think you’re right, it’s a bit early. See what the next set of leaves are like. The ones you have may be the final leaf shape or they may be a juvenile form

It’s got bigger.

any suggestions

I did a reverse image search on Google and it thinks it could be brassica (mustard greens)
There is also a free app you can download that let's you upload a picture of a plant and help to identify it so you could try that 😊

Thank you. I definitely think it’s brassica which means in my garden I will lose it to the caterpillars 😂

my photo is thing suggested lemon balm which it’s absolutely not

My plant id app says wild radish (in the brassica famil)

That looks more like it can I eat it 😂

I was thinking “radish” so I googled for pics of seedlings and got pics very similar to your originals

Quite smug that I got the family from your original pic. But for some reason I wasn’t thinking about the mustards, radishes etc.

Brassicaceae is a relatively safe family to experiment with, not like the pea family (Laburnum) or the carrot family (hemlock)

I agree your smugness it justly deserved 😍

It looks like the sort of thing that pops up in the random mix of ‘oriental greens’ which I occasionally succumb to.

The flea beetles love them.

I think I've had similar things from bird seed.
