    Hi there,
    I have found this plant growing in the mesclun/lettuce patch. Tastes like arugula, bolts like arugula but doesn't look like arugula...or maybe it is a type of?
    Looked up french chervil, but looks slightly different.
    Any ideas?
    thank you

    Curly Cress Lepidium sativum. Yes, you can mix it in your salads.
