What garden vegetable is this?

You have several choices. I planted seeds here several times because they were not coming up. Cabbage, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Chinese cabbage, Swiss Chard. This does not look like anything I planted. It is coming up in a row. I wonder if the seeds I bought on Ebay were packaged wrong. The Chinese cabbage seeds look like radish or mustarded green seeds.

Looks like a mustard green of some sort.

Agree.

Brussels Sprouts have never been in my garden.

I have grown the others and have different varieties of mustards growing every year.

Chinese cabbage, gai choi, is a mustard so it could be that. It is also called mustard cabbage and the seedlings do look like that.

The University of Melbourne and the Victoria state government have done their best to sort out names of Asian vegetables.

If you run down the webpage to Mustard Green (Brassica juncea) you will see mature plants and the name "gai choy." (Glossary of Asian Vegetables, click)

Here is a webpage for seed. Great veggies! (Evergreen Seed Co, link)
