I would really appreciate some input regarding this plant I have recently obtained. It would be great if someone could identify it for me, thanks! It has balls on it that resemble turnips. This is my first time here so i will try to add a pic.

Re: Help!! I would like to know what this plant is, if its a weed, or an actual plant You're doing fine, the balls look like some kind of abnormal growth. Interesting.
Re: Help!! I would like to know what this plant is, if its a weed, or an actual plant thanks, abnormal growth, thats odd, is it a weed or a plant?
Re: Help!! I would like to know what this plant is, if its a weed, or an actual plant It is a species in the family Apiaceae, probably Angelica*. Several of the species in this family have very swollen leaf bases like this, possibly to protect the young shoots when they are starting their growth. * Compare here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Angelica_sylvestris Note though that there are some similar related species which are poisonous, so don't eat this one until the identification is better confirmed!
