Identify this plant please?

Hi,

I planted a few seeds sometime back and I've forgotten what this is.
Can you please help me identify this plant?
TIA.

Cowslip is a flowering plant, right? I do not remember having planted those seeds. Or could it have come from a salad seed packet?

I was going to say some sort of salad leaf

teapackets

Mmmn, I'd say lettuce leaf too.

Thanks for all the responses. Bit the bullet and tasted one leaf and it is indeed lettuce :j Tastes sort of romaine lettuce though the leaves do not form a tight head, rather like loose leaves. So very remiss of me not to have labelled the pot when I planted the seeds.

I think it's a sort of cos lettuce, it will heart up if left to grow large and given enough space, but I like to eat the leaves individually, the plants last for ages then.

Would say young romaine lettuce - check out the google images for romaine lettuce young, they're very close. As Lotus-eater has said it will work great for cut and come again salad leaves.
