    I dug this area out last year and replanted it with sweet peas, I may have sprinkled some other seeds and bulbs there too :scratch:. I have had clumps of these appear
    [​IMG][​IMG][/IMG] , they have roots and no bulb.
    Any idea what they could be? They are quite evenly spaced.

    That's a very common type of leaf and could be anything from celery to feverfew. :scratch:

        Just to put the cat amongst the pigions, I'll say it IS feverfew ! ! The gauntlet has been thrown down ! Cheers, Tony.

            well easy to check, just rub the leaves, it has a strong scent, like the combination of mint and camomille

              Or like chrysanthemums.

              Out of interest, why do you think it's definitely not feverfew?

                the leaves of mine look a bit less longish, but it seems thats just the difference in between plants
                but I have googled some pics after the severe opposition of certain knights on this thread (and he smote him from the horse, saddle and all... I am imagening myself lying on the earth sunny side down) and it might be feverfew indeed
                lets wait for the smell test
                have attached pic of my plant

                  Thanks all. The leaves had a strong smell but couldn't quite tell what it smelt of. I found a few clumps elsewhere, where I hadn't planted anything so I don't think it was anything I planted .

                  You'm gonna have to let it flower now Louise, just so we know:spinning:

                  Had a look back to see if it was this

                  But the leaves are not the same.

                  Looks like celery to me, which also has a strong smell as you say Louise. :)
