Ok, so I think I've been a bit silly.
Basically, I've just come back from three weeks holiday and have been weeding a bed where I planted red Brussel sprout seeds a while ago. These don't look quite like a sprout...which either means my sprouts haven't germinated and these are weeds which have sprouted up very quickly, or these are actually Brussels. Any ideas? First time gardener fail!

Hi Charlotte. I'm a novice veg grower and can't ID your plant but I'm growing a variety of Brussels sprouts called "red delicious" for the first time. This is what my seedlings look like.
Don't know if this helps?
Hmm. Yours look more purple with a smoother leaf. I'm worried I've been tenderly encouraging weeds to grow now haha!
I've no idea what they're supposed to look like either
I sowed mine indoors and planted out a couple of days ago.
Hopefully a proper veg grower will be along later to advise us both
Thats not a brussels sprout.
Brussela have smooth leaves like kitty posted.
Oh dear
what a waste of time! i better see if I can find something else to fill the bed!.
The leaves look very similar to these ...
which could mean it's one of these which self seeded in my garden.
looks a bit like black mustard seedling? or a weird looking radish maybe? or possibly red dead nettle? but definitely not a sprout
Is that a verbascum Faywray? Everyone else gets dandlions!
Heres another picture. Not a happy gardener!
Beetroot?
