    Hi Please help me I figure out what I'm growing. I started all of my vegetable from seeds, then transplanted to my rigged up greenhouse. I thought these were bell pepper plants but they don't look like it. Sure hope someone can help! Thanks.

    Looks like a turnip to me..
    Good picture, but it might help to know what hardiness zone or region you're located in..

    Is the leaf really pungent if you rub or crush a part of it or is it prickly with hairs (not prickly like thistles, just stiff hairs on the leaf)?

    If it is pungent could be arugala. I have several different varieties in the greenhouse and I like none of it. It has a very distinctive pungent flavor and smell. If it is hairy may be a radish plant.

    Have a bit of an odor I wouldn't call it prugent. Leaves are smooth, stocks are fuzzy. Growing like weeds!

    I think it is arugala. It is often sold in lettuce/spring greens seed mix. Once it goes to seed it will sprout freely in places you aren't expecting it.
