    Hi Leon,

    I think the plant with the small flowers in the centre photo is actually a sprouting brocolli - could a stray seed have got in the pot somehow??

    I am not sure about the others - the first photo looks like a spinach.

    It might be worth you reducing the size of the images as they are huge!

    Not sure about the other one though.
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D

    I thought the first looked like spinach too - mine looked similar, especially after it had bolted, but pics are too big to be sure.
    Looking forward to the future.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Hopefully the photos can be viewed now lol.

    I have never had any sprouting brocolli so not sure where it could have come from. I do have spinach but my plants look different. The only thing I can think of is that its grown from my homemade compost. I do have tomato plants growing where I haven't planted them.
    :p
