This was supposed to be a pot of primula but .........
Can anyone tell me what I should expect from this rather robust looking specimen?

Common sorrel or garden sorrel (Rumex acetosa) would be my guess.

You could add it to your salad John!

That looks big enough to be a spinach plant, you could just taste it, it's definitely not a Primula...

I agree, Spinach!

Then spinach makes sense, you'd certainly taste something if it had been a sorrel. You can compare with this: http://www.gardnercultivation.com/?attachment_id=1032

I'm confused. Best wait until it flowers perhaps. $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$
