Ok, I bought one of those herb kits with a single pot with several holes in it to put the plants. (never again btw)

I had two that came up after everything was transplanted one is either a coriander or a parsley. If any one has a picture of one or the other I can probably figure it out from there. I tried sniffing it and all I could smell was cleaning agent. (that explains what I've been doing doesn't it lol)

The second one has serated edges on an arrow shaped leaf and the leaves alternate on a single stem. Does this sound familiar to anyone or have I picked up a weed somewhere?

I planted both so I really don't know. The only thing I can add to the description is that the leaves are much darker than most everything else.

I think that system is called hydra-watchamacallit. The guy up the street at the corner was into it - he even took a course in it.

He ended up selling all his pots and stuff at a yard sale. I was going to buy them, but he didn't recommend it. Told me it was just too complicated.

I noticed a lot of it at Canada Blooms (the Toronto gardening show) this year.
