Unsure kinda of what these are. Horseradish??




Pumpkin I believe.If it is its the only one out of 2 rows so not sure on that...

Yeah, does look like horseradish, though that is not something I grow, so I'm just going by pictures.

I'm going to suggest that the first two photos are of French sorrel, Rumex scutatus. At least, it looks almost identical to what I have growing.

Hmm thanks for the replies. I might dig one up see what the root looks like and go from that. Which ever they are I don't want them lol they came from I don't know where lol

[!potatoes!]

should be able to tell the difference between horseradish and sorrel by the taste of the leaf. sorrel is sour from oxalic acid. horseradish is spicy. if the leaves are tasteless, maybe one of the docks (also rumex)?

[rainbowgardener]

I was first thinking dock, probably because I am familiar with that and not with horseradish. And we had this conversation before that dock and sorrel are very closely related.

But if you look closely at the first picture, you can see that those leaves have toothed edges.

That is true of horseradish:

not true of dock:

And the horseradish seems to grow a little denser and stand more upright. So I think sleepingciv was right.
