    looks like a pea or something?

    What seed were you expecting, and are you using a propagator?

    That little guy is most definitely a pea plant.
    You'll have to stake it up soon or it'll just topple over

    Yup, sweet pea, regular pea, some kind of pea.


    A weed is just a plant in the wrong place though.

    just had an "oh Dear !" moment .....

    had a look at the pic and said "sweet pea" straight away !!! then read the rest of the thread.

    (I'm not a gardening person)

    thats strange though as I only opened the packet of pea seeds after I found this plant, by any chance could it be nasturtium that grew nearnylast year and their seeds went everywhere and were just left....

    although after a google, doesnt look likely.


    I only noticed the plant in one of the seed trays in the greenhouse so maybe I picked up a stray one and the greenhouse's warmth sped it up ? /:

    whatever it is im glad i didnt dump it as a weed, its a good strong little thing bar the fact that somehow, im not sure how the stem got broken, kinda.. or just partially so but 3 days later i boosted the weaker side with extra compost and its bakupright again with no loss in colour.. so who knows..

    ive attatched a pic of what it looked like the first dat I found it...

    Stressica, you have already been told by multiple posts that it is a pea of some description.

    I can't see where it is broken?

    Oh and the broken bit is not visibile as i put extra compost around it and firmed the side, i think the wind caught it, it was literally on its side like
