The case of the mysterious plant

I love plants, I especially love to grow things which you can then eat. Unfortunately  I live in a terraced house with no garden and a very small yard so the most we grow is small things in pots. So a while ago in one of our pots we saw something growing. We weren't sure about what it was but thought it might be a strawberry plant (my mum remembered throwing some strawberry seeds in there...) We waited for it to grow bigger so that maybe we could tell a little more. Eventually my mum decided to move it to another pot to give it a little more room to grow.

Anyway finally we decided that it wasn't a strawberry plant, we saw no strawberries and the leaves were just getting bigger. We knew it was something we just didn't know what......

And the case of the mysterious plant continued until the other day when my brother (who takes minimal interest in plants) said that its a type of spinach.....

Hmmmmmm...and so I went online to have a look at different types of spinach.....now it may well be spinach (savoy type)  but do we chance it and eat it or do we just leave it in case its something more sinister......

So what do you think it is? Let me know in the comments section below....
