Hello.

This plant came from a packet of Brussels sprouts seeds; however, it looked different from the other seedlings that were produced. Now, that it has grown larger, it looks completely different from other Brussels sprouts plants that I bought from a store.

Is this plant some variety of Brussels sprouts? Or did some different kind of seed slip into that packet?

Welcome!

That does not look right for brussel sprouts but I can't say I recognize it either. Perhaps someone here will be able to help.

Ooh, yeah. I think wild radish is it. Thanks!

Weird how that somehow got into a seed packet for Brussels sprouts. I can't think of any other way it would have gotten into that seed tray.

Well, when you you rhink about it.. I guess they have to let brussels sprouts plants bloom to collect seed, so if one wild radish plant was unnoticed in the field...
Plant it and they will come.
