Help please

[Rhirhi]

What is this please?

[Nicos]

Any hints on what you think it could be?
What did you sow?
Is it supposed to be edible or could it be something self seeded like a weed?
Without any clues it could ba something like chard?

Do you have a new allotment and have inherited these plants you are asking about?...or, maybe lost the labels?

Looks like spinach or chard to me.

[Rhirhi]

I've been purchasing veg boxes!

Thank you, chard I think - so treat like spinach?

[Nicos]

If it is indeed chard

Here have a look at this site- the piccie on this site is of a red chard not the typical whitw one

[Nicos]

Oh....just had a thought...has it got roots???

If not , then are you asking about cooking it?
If so- nope- the leaves don't wilt down in the same way and the stem is totally edible - just cook it long enough and check the stem has softened .
I steam mine .
Great chopped up in soup too

Just looks like common or garden spinach to me?

[Nicos]

Any chance of another piccie perhaps?

There's usually a list of contents with a vegbox. Any clues?

Depends on your supplier, I used to get one before I got the lottie and we never got any paperwork except the occasional recipe.

Oh and looks like chard or spinach to me. Difficult to tell from the photos.
