|

i haven't got a clue what these are or how they got there so maybe someone might.i made the mistake of planting a few things a while back without labels but i don't think these are what i planted.they were cauliflowers and cucumbers.i used homemade compost so it could be something from there.if now one can help i suppose i'll just have to let them grow and see what happens. in the firs pic there seems to be a stem with possibly flowers!!

first two pictures are either courgette or cucumbers and the third plant is almost certainly a pepper

are they risky to have in the greenhouse at all as if they're not then i'll leave them a bit longer to see what happens? |

Wait and see if it is a plantain it will not be a problem. Top pic does look like plantain but the second does not. |

I'm with James, the first two look like Plantain (http://www.prairielandherbs.com/plantain.htm). I was only looking at a huge plantain plant in the plot beside my own earlier today, it was huge.
The third is a little too close up to tell. Maybe a pepper. |

the jury is out on the plantain/cucumber but the other is looking more like the pepper plants i have growing. |

the others,peppers, seem to be doing well now they are re-potted.
