Help, does anyone know what this is?

[nicole0313]

This started pretty small... almost thought it was lettuce but now it is huge. Anyone know what this is?

I'm gonna say Horseradish?????

 

[nicole0313]

Kya, yes, it indeed now looks like horseradish after I googled it and saw the other images. I have no idea how it got there, but it appears to be a weed so I guess I should keep an eye on it that it doesn't take over, but it is kind of cool that I can harvest and try to make some sauce from it. Thanks!

Kinda looks like that comon weed that looks like... that

If it is horseradish, I warn you about grating it, the stuff is like tear gas. The harsh fumes fill up a room. I couldn't even go near the food processor after processing, and the whole room was making me tear.

 

[Kya D]

Edwin you are so right about how potent grating it is.

 

[Mainegal]

you will be able to smell it if it's horse radish and it will have white roots when you dig it, dig a piece up
I think it's a weed

 

[Kya D]

Laurie you might be right, I really am not sure

If the roots are yellow or if those tops make a reddish-brown seed, it's not Horseradish but Dock.
