Looks like basil to me but I'm not sure I'd consider it spicy (though I've never tried eating it in raw green form).

arugula? different varieties, different leaf shapes. Hard to tell on your picture, can't see the entire leaf. http://www.bonappegeek.com/2007/06/11/dear-arugula/

@Donna ... I agree with Basil - there are many varieties, including some that are spicy. I grow sweet basil every summer

If you rub your fingers on the leaf, you can usually smell what it is !!!

It might be Sorrel ... I've grown it for 19 years. It has a lemony, spicy taste, but the leaves are more pointed and Sorrel is a perennial plant. Meaning, it will come back every year even tons of snow and sub-zero winter weather ! Always picked it and ate it when I watered my herb garden!

I believe it is basil. The leaves should be tender with a spicy , slightly sweet scent ans a spicy flavor. You should be able to tell by tasting a small pinch if it, or by rubbing a pinch between you fingers, as basil has a unique scent.

Looks kinda like sorrell AND mustard AND basil. Taste it. If it tastes lemony, it's sorrell. If it tastes nicely bitter, it's mustard. If the taste make you suddenly desire a steak dinner, it's basil.
