What is this plant?
+6
I planted some English ivy in the basket earlier in the year. The ivy died;but out of the side openings of the basket, this is growing. Any idea what it might be? I have not touched it fearing that it might be poison ivy or something growing wild.

That is the herb peppermint. It is very invasive and comes back every year - keep it in a confined space.

When you crush the leaves does it smell like mint?

It's not poison ivy. Poison ivy has 3 leaves, the outer 2 are sort of mitten shaped -

Yes, keep it captured but makes a wonderful potted plant. Love all the mints.

Leaves of three, let it be... that's the rule for poison ivy. This looks like mint to me.
