Mystery plant! Pics!
« on: October 14, 2014, 11:30 »
Good Morning,

Theres something strange growing in my Kale patch!  Its nicely uniform with everything else leading me to believe it must have been in the packet of seeds when I planted them.  I've no idea what it is or what to do with it! 

Can anyone help? 

Thank you :)

Looks like another variety of kale to me, obviously a quick grower compared to the others!

Look like a sprouting broccoli plant to me.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Thank you for your replies! 

I haven't picked it or done anything with it whereas I have the others so I guess that's why it looks more impressive! 

I have never grown broccoli, I'm not sure what its supposed to look like!

If it is PSB, you'll see purple headed spears.

When you can see them - pick them!

You could have an oilseed rape plant?
