Help identify an unkown seedling,,,
« on: April 09, 2009, 18:41 »
I'm a newbie to growin' me own and have begun to plant. 

It's all great fun and am making the most of the tiny south facing yard I have outback.

I made my first mistake though - I didn't label a row of seeds when I put them in and now have no idea what it is that is growing through...

Can anyone help.  If I knew what they were, I might have some idea how to make em larger and more bountiful.  Or at least I could look up how to do that.

Pic attached.

Onion I reckon as a bit thin for spring onion or leeks (my leeks anyway  :lol:)
