Anyone know what this plant is? I thought it was skirret but now I'm confused because the leaves don't look like they belong to the carrot family.

The leaves are the right sort of colour for skirret young leaves. It's a long time ago since I grew my seedlings and I can't find a photo just now, but this one online shows the leaves are not divided when babies:

When mature the leaves are much more like parsnip than carrot I think
