Sure looks good enough to eat! I'd say yes, because some varieties are biennials and not annuals. Eat them now before the hotter weather makes the plant bolt.

Looks like a variety of primrose, and the other is kale. As beetree said, better eat soon as kale is a cold weather crop, so it might bolt soon.

I have no idea where a primrose plant would come from???

   Yes the last two pics are kale from the Internet...I posted them to compare..

   I planted Kale but nothing came up...this plant is now 3 months old...and now it has feelers on all sides and they are getting ready to form looks like flowers ....

sure is a wild looking plant...

    I found this also in the pictures of KALE?

Thanks Eurosport...let mom in on our EXPLORATORY > LOL

I know very little about species of plants, just the normal ones I plant, like Zinnias, geraniums, roses, lettuce, tomatoes , etc...

So many plant leaves look similiar.

I am sending the pics to several people who may know .

Continue digging

We call those plants, "volunteers".

When they get that old, they don't taste good so, even if they are a perennial. For best eating, better go with young and fresh. If you like volunteers let the plant go to seed. Trick is knowing what the seedlings look like so you don't weed them out when they sprout. That's why markers are good if you need a memory reminder.

YES, Bee, but that was last year...beds were cleared....I have this from internet looks like a primrose plant and it is very similiar..but gosh do they get that tall,>>>>???

I put markers on all veggies....so I guess I better mark all flowers.

You may have hit it on the head ...this pic looks just like the flower pretty much

I do not think it is Kale.... cannot find any reference to Yellow FLOWERS ON ANY kale plants.

Seeds travel by wind, via birds, other animals, lots of ways. It is just that if you know you left a certain plant go to seed, if you leave a marker you might remember later when all these strange but similar looking shoots pop up, and think, oh, look at that! Maybe they are baby ...........

knowingly I never planted any primrose seeds.

AND I guess the birds out here coming from 30 miles away could drop a seed? wow chances of that happening...are like me winning the lottery..I live in never never land...no one out here plants flowers.. that I know of.

I almost dug this plant up but I saw the leaves were so green and I thought...well maybe Asparagus? then I thought spinach,,then I thought kALE...SO WHO KNOWS.

LOL, in their bird poop, yes, they can make a seed travel distances.

BT: the little yellow flowers close in day time but do not open until morning time..

by beetree on 19 May 2012 - 22:05

Yup, I think, we will call this plant, YellowRose Morning Primrose!!!
