Patty S on May 17, 2014Looks like Cats-ears or field hawkweed to me. If the base of leaves is in a rosette and have lobed edges and are hairy it is cats-ears. The field hawkweed has an almost spear shaped leaf with no lobes and are very hairy and can be noticed from first sight. The cats-ears leaves are only hairy at close inspection. They both get yellow flowers in June. Don't let them flower or go to seed. They will takeover. Pull them out.Helpful Reply

Flea Market Gardening on May 18, 2014It could also be from the broom family,...sweet broom or French broom. They have really long roots that are hard to pull up. If it does,..it may be broom. ~~ SueHelpful Reply

Kelly S on May 24, 2014It looks like the Scotch broom that is horribly invasive around here. The pollen also triggers a lot of allergy and asthma attacks when it is in full bloom. In Washington State it was used as erosion control on the road sides and now we cant get rid of it.Helpful Reply

Catharina on May 27, 2015I still think this is a brassica plant. Brassica the family name. Open one of the pots and see if there is a defider in the middle, two half witch are seperate from each other then it definitely is a brassica.Helpful Reply
