I planted a lettuce mix and these plants are popping up everywhere, but I don't know if it's lettuce.

Is this lettuce?

I'm not sure...looks really similar to some stuff I've seen like a purple kale or a broccoli rabe or once there was a purple type of mesculin, but I've never seen green one side and purple on the other side. Curious to see if anyone else knows.
I am more than positive this is NOT lettuce. But, i'm not sure what this type of leaf is......looks like unwanted weeds. Hmmmmm........

Yeah I'm thinking weed too. Many many weeds are edible though, so it would be nice to get an ID before the poster throws them away.
Anyone think it matches this? http://weeds.cropsci.illinois.edu/i...ages/Eastern black nightshade purple leaf.htm
If so, it is toxic, and I'd be curious if it was in the seed mix or got blown/carried into the area. Its good to identify what comes up from a seed mix!

Yeah Kate.....that looks dead on it. Good researching!!!
well ****...mosey ate some 
If it is night shade, its toxic. It will eventually have clusters of tiny white flowers that turn into small round green balls. Then the balls turn purple. Each ball has dozens of seeds in it.
If he just ate a little I wouldn't worry. Keep him hydrated, and if you want, you could feed something that might move things along quicker like cactus pads or pumpkin.
Eegad. I hope Mosey's OK.
