Unknown Plant Volunteer in Vegetable Garden - Can You Identify It?
Is it of the cabbage - collards genre, or is it something else?
An unknown volunteer showed up in the beets area of my tiny vegetable garden. Can you identify it for me?

Post a CommentLooks like kale but the Scottish variety I'm familiar with is fuller - more "solid-looking".
I think chances are, yes, but don't quote me.
I'm voting for ornamental kale/cabbage. By the way - is ornamental kale just ornamental? Could it be eaten?
Now I look forward to the final growth so I can report back!
Looks like a red cabbage or flowering kale, but it could be a throwback from some hybrid that went to seed. You never know what a hybrid will revert to.
Looks like a tasty purple cabbage?
It definitely looks like it is in the cabbage family, could it be young brussel sprouts. If so it will stalk up later.
Kale or ornamental cabbage would be my guess.
Have you seen the movie "Little Shop Of Horror?" Anyway, your plant reminded me of that moviie for some reason!!!!!
They call it Albemarle Clay, though I don't live in Albemarle.
