Sowed some seeds I had whose name I have forgotten. The app picture this identifies it incorrectly as Rocket but I am sure it's not Rocket.

    I think it's rocket.  Some of the varieties have very narrow leaves.

    My first thought was Gazania too, but the leaves do look like a thick rocket leaf too.
    If it were me, I'd taste a tiny bit of leaf  - if it tastes like rocket, then it's rocket, if not then maybe a gazania, or something else

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    I tasted it but couldn't distinguish it to be a salad leaf as I have rarely eaten Rocket.  Anyway, I'll wait for it to flower and update it here.

    Update: Now it has flowers. @Hostafan1 Your guess appears to be correct because the flowers do look like Gazania!
