I broke off a leaf to smell it and I really did not smell anything. I did a quick video (not sure if it will help) and I also sent a help e-mail to Central Texas Gardener to see if they could recongize it. My only fear is that it is something like posion ivy or something like that. I will clue you all in once I find out something.

The leaves grow from the bulb and are not branched. This might be a weed. I often crush the leaf and smell to see if I recognize the smell.If you don't smell basil then I would pull it and chuck it! Too late for beets right now. Wait until fall.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956737116694328134.post-18656246902082984512010-06-27T22:17:18.421-05:002010-06-27T22:17:18.421-05:00I'm sorry to say I don't think it is a bee...I'm sorry to say I don't think it is a beet. We grow veggies for sale at Farmers Markets, and I've never seen a beet like that. You may have beets in Texas that I haven't seen, but it's not a regular beet! From the pictures, it looks to have a square stem, which means that it is probably in the mint family. Is the stem square? Have you tried crushing a leaf and smelling it? Hope that helps!Aagaard Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03815693652391439207noreply@blogger.com
