I’ve planted lots of chilli seeds and they are doing fine but this one seems to have taken off but not the flower I expected but leaves look like chillies?... is this a rouge weed?  weed?... 😳

    Probably a weed - it looks like a Persicaria of some kind, maybe P. maculosa aka Redshank if there are any dark blotches on the lower leaves?
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    I agree with BobTheGardener. Looks like Persicaria to me too. Take a look at Persicaria Lapathifolia, Pale Persicaria. I think time to ditch this plant.

    Thank you both! Again I’ve grown another successful weed! 😂
