looks quite like celery but as there are some poisonous weeds in the same family I'd proceed with caution...

Unless it's an unusual variety I think the leaves are wrong for celery

But I don't know what else it might be  ???

The leaves aren't right for cow parsley or horseradish either.

Think you might be closest / right, Mum  :D

Looks very much like lovage.I have just taken a root from a neighbour and after seeing the size of his plant I have put it in a pot.It is growing very quickly so I would advise some control over yours.

I thought it looked like a parsnip and they do seem to be growing in a row - I have a couple still in I forgot to pull out and they are tinged with red at the bottom of the leaf stalk - apologies though if I am wrong ::)

Looks like lovage, break a leaf and see it smells of celery, or am I thinking of something  ???

Lovage - definitely! I planted some last year, decided I didn't like it and pulled it out..... or so I thought..... And you thought horseradish was invasive, its coming back up again with a vengence. ::)
