Plant ID

Whatever it is it wintered over, I'm not sure if it's mustard greens or not, ideas???

When I picked off a part of a leaf it smelled like lettuce or grass not peppery.

I'll have to take a taste and see what it tastes like then!

The leaves do not taste lemony and they do not taste sour.

It definitely is a dock (Rumex.) Sorrel is another, cultivated, member of the Rumex family. The leaves should taste sour and lemony. It is delicious with light steaming or sauteing.

most likely either Patience Dock or Curly Dock

try cooking the leaves and see if they taste lemony then.
