Turn me sideways and call me stupid, but this doesn't look like a snapdragon to me... might let it grow and see what it turns into - rape springs to mind for some reason. 

[arugula]

That sounds like a sensible supposition, it looks like a brassica of some sort, but this



is apparently a young oilseed rape plant.

[Diddy Gardener]

Hmm, not rape then... the second pic shows a small yellowish flower head - I shall have to wait and see.

Well, this is the usurper one week on.

If anyone can guess correctly what it is, I will send a large box of Thornton's choccies to the first person to post the correct answer. Of course, the plant will have to be verified by someone a lot more knowledgeable than me!

I will continue to let it grow and pot on etc. I will also post pics at regular intervals.

Hope I'm not flouting any forum rules by doing this... mods, feel free to slap my wrist if I am.

I think it's fat hen?

[Diddy Gardener]

You think I'm growing a chicken... and a big one at that??  :blink: You obviously don't like chocolate 

[Yorkie]

I'm sorry, I thought you wanted genuine and helpful suggestions.

Fat hen is the common name for a common weed.

I might not be correct, but there's no need for ridicule.

[Diddy Gardener]

Ah, Yorkie, I'm sorry... I had no idea what Fat Hen was, so thought I would try and make a joke of it... BIG FAIL  Really didn't mean any offence and certainly no ridicule on my part

What if we don't like chocolates?

[Diddy Gardener]

*sigh... Argyllie? Really? How about whisky... mind you, chocolate is cheaper! Cannie Scot and all that

No worries

No really, no prize necessary. If it is fat hen, that's edible anyway, just google.

Not fat hen, IMO.

Groundsel ?
