Can anyone identify this plant. Seems to keep springing up on my plot. Hopefully it's an edible weed

Looks like plantain

Beaten to it!
It looks like plantain which has been well-nibbled at the edges.

Re: Identify plant
And it seeds like anything which explains why it pops up everywhere. Nearly as prolific as dandelions but easier to root out.

I seem to remember that it's called "White man's foot" in America, for that very reason Flo, everywhere the white men walked, plantain started growing.
Although it's probably one of those urban (or rural in this case) myths.

Re: Identify plant
I guess it could be. Hard to say. But it is prolific.
