Lead out in cuffs posted:I guess I think of canola leaves as being smaller, but that would be after it "bolts". I don't think I've actually seen it earlier in the season. So yeah, could be. Yeah canola starts its life cycle as a leafy green (a tasty one in fact) with big floofy leaves, and then bolts to the yellow flowers. It's mustard.

Does not look like any horseradish I've ever seen.Tias posted:Well in Denmark we grow a great deal of raps, the local european canola - but are we not too late in the year for it to be in the start of its life cycle? I know nothing about growing in Denmark, but I do know that lots of the euro gardeners I follow will grow winter plantings of brassicas. Like, it could be some other plant from that family, and there's not really any way to tell until the plant matures more, but the planting density looks more like how I see canola/rape grow. It's way way too closely planted for it any of the head-forming varieties. I'm totally confident in saying is that it's a brassica of some sort. I'm guessing with a high degree of certainty from experience as a grower and observer that it's not a head-forming crop, and with a lower degree of certainty that it's not a stem-forming crop like kholrabi or swede. Process of elimination leaves us with mustard greens, a flat kale, or canola/rape.
