👋 Hi

I got some seeds, I recognised basilicum and dille, but what is this? Any ideas?

Thank you
🌱

Thank you all so much! Can I already start harvesting the bigger leafs or should I wait untill they all grow?
Don't worry, I won't be asking for recipes next 🤤😉

Eat a small sample at night and if you wake up in the morning feeling fine they are OK to eat.
On the other hand if you don't wake up don't eat any more of it.

Seriously, you should be able to tell by tasting a leaf if they are brassicas, think raw cabbage. Brassicas are nearly always nicer younger.
