    :help:
    I thought I would have a crack at growing some salad veg this year and bought a multi pack of seeds from B&Q with varieties of onion, betroots, radishes, lettuce, tomatoes etc. I stupidly didn't mark them up thinking I could identify them when they had seeded and started to grow, which I can all but one!

    It is very tall with tiny white flowers on the tip, the leaves are abit like a rocket leaf (as I am growing that too) but with a slight furry feel. They are growing really well. I have pulled one up and the root is purpley colour so am wondering if its a radish of some kind but as its so tall I am completely baffled... any help would be greatly received!!:help:
