Hi

Can anyone tell me what this is please? It's in my veg bed, and just sprung up from nowhere. It's not like any of my others, all of which are labelled (grown from seed) it's got heart shaped leaves, quite a thick but not woody stem, and nearly 2ft tall. Is it a triffid ;) ?

Any suggestions?

    Hmm. It does look like it now you mention it? But I haven't bought seed potato this year.


    Aaarrghh I bet you're right! Just remembered I tipped last years compost in the bottom of the raised bed to fill it out :D I bet there was a sneaky spud in there. Thank you!!!

    Well we have carrots and broccoli, I just need a moo cow and I've grown Sunday dinner!
