Does look like spinach to me.
And my phone also reckons so.
Vashti@boxofrain @kathimmel phone apps aren't reliable and regularly suggest deadly poisonous plants and fungi are good eating.

Of course image matching should always be taken with a pinch of salt.
In this case by “my phone” I was referring to Flora Incognita (developed with support from the Max Planck Institute in Germany) which suggested spinach with 93% certainty.
This is no guarantee of course but it is a fair indication.
Flora Incognita’s good accuracy - particularly in Northern Europe - and use in research is well documented.
@boxofrain @kathimmel To be clear, is it your position that your app is so good people should use it to identify edible plants? Because that goes against all the foraging advice I've ever seen, especially when multiple people are like "that's a poisonous plant or a doppel and not safe to eat".
