Nice color !

You would not know it is almost spring here. It never got out of
the 50's today. Way too cold for us cold weather wimps. :)

I could send you a list of hardy veggies if you want haha ;)

Could this be a first evolutionary step from a mere linearly veined leaf

Fascinating.
I think that's called a Stipule.

Thanks a lot. Though I doubt a little if it is exactly that.
If the kind of split-off was only on one side, I would be guessing that it had been caused by a minor lesion. But as it is symmetrically on both sides it looks very much like a little genetic variation.
