What plant have I ended up with?

Last year I sowed  in to some plastic troughs and labelled the troughs. I won’t mention just yet what I think I sowed as I don’t want to influence the responses.

Last week I noticed 2 or 3 small plants growing in one of the troughs  that were about 3 inched high. These plants that were growing are all the same. However, I am wondering if something has self sown in my troughs.

The photo here which I took with my phone less than 30 minutes ago is a close -up. So for perspective the leaf is about the size of a 2p coin. It is also quite a dark shade of green. Ignore the small greyish spec as they are just dried water splashes enlarged.

Hope someone recognises it.

    So @young codger  Is that actual what you though you sowed ??

    But is that what you intended to grow ?  :)
    Snap @Hampshire_Hog !
  • Well, the trough where the few beach trees were growing was labelled up as plums. 

    No sign of any plumb stones germinating. 

    I have salvaged the beach trees though and potted them up. Shall grow them on until big enough to go in to Canklow woods-probably when they have filled out 2 litre sized pots.
