Unknown plant

[Emmalevine]

A few weeks ago my son brought a small green plant home from school. It was tiny when it first came home - less than 2 inches - but in the space of a few weeks it has grown to around a foot and a half tall so I've had to plant it in the garden. I'll try and add a photo but does anyone know what it might be? It smells incredibly sharp - the smell is still on my hands after washing - and it has pretty green pointed leaves all the way up the stem. I realise this could be any plant in a million but I'll try and work out how to add a photo.

My guess is a sweet potato or similar? I look forward to seeing your picture of it!

[Emmalevine]

I've added but not very clear I'm afraid!

It stands straight so it's not a sweet potato like I thought maybe.

(Is it just the one plant, because the one in the red container looks almost just like the one in the center of the picture.)

[Emmalevine]

Nope not the red one (although I don't know that one either but I know someone who does!), I mean the green one. Curious as it grew so fast.

[Silver]

It is hard to tell, I guess some sort of tree.

[Emmalevine]

Hmmm. Maybe someone here will know what type it is. I've never known a plant to grow so fast, but then I don't know a great deal about them.

If you get a clearer pic of the leaves it could be easier to identify. If it is growing fast it could be a "weed."

[Emmalevine]

Ok I'll go out in the garden tomorrow and post another pic of one of its leaves.

By the way Starbuck, that is a sweet cavey

Not being a gardener of any type I have no clue but I hope you post more pics the more it grows :)

Thanks. She's called Harmony and only a few months old :smile:

Here's the pic of the plant in the garden. Shed any light at all?

[Emmalevine]

I';m guessing no one knows what it is from the leaves? :icon_frown:

I'm not very familiar with trees 'n stuff in England. I'll google a bit though, it's made me curious.
