First post! Hello everybody!

Since buying a new house in October, I'm currently working through the
overgrown / uncared for garden discovering all sorts.

However, I've been unable to identify this one, which has shot up over
the past month...

I believe it's grown up from a bulb / tuber, but not entirely sure.
Currently (in photo) about 25cms but growing reasonably quickly. Is
planted within a raised herb border including rosemary, sage (i think),
thyme, lavender, so perhaps it's complimentary to these (albeit this is
obviously not a shrub)?

Any help to identify would be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation!

Best regards,

Tom

Hello,
this could be horse-radish.

It could indeed, I think Willi's right. If you can determine for sure
it is horseradish, consider moving it somewhere else if you want to keep
it - ideally, plant it in a 5-gallon bucket. Horseradish is very
invasive (it's almost impossible to harvest without a few small side
roots being left behind), and it will eventually take over the whole
herb bed.
