Can anyone identify these seedlings?

[Samurailord]

Late last Sunday night I sowed a module of what I thought were 'All Year Round' lettuce, but when they started to germinate they don't look anything like the other 'All Year Round' that are coming up in the blow away which have a couple of small, round leaves.

I am going to have a root through my seed packets to try and work out what I have got here, but I thought I would ask the Vine in case someone can help identify them for me first, and before you ask there was no alcohol involved when sowing



Sorry about the quality of the pic - it was taken with my phone.

Anyone got any ideas?

Spinach .................... ?

Could it be Chard or leaf beet of some sort?

I must admit that my first thought was carrot, but now I have looked through my seeds it does indeed look like singlseeder was spot on.

I have an open packet of spinach seed, and the seeds look just like the ones that have been borne aloft on the tips of the leaves. I know that I have not planted any spinach out anywhere else this year, so by the process of deduction these must be spinach.

I must have been having a senior moment last Sunday, I got mixed up with the lettuce I had planted in the blow away

Thanks for the link VC - unfortunately there are no images of spinach, but I have used the power of Google and found this pic.

I think there is no doubt now.
