Thank's guys, it's not changed it look at all and it's shown no sign of flowering and it's only the odd leave that looks like danelion so we were not sure but was guessing from the same family, the torts love it and the leaves get huge like romaine lettuce leaves

Judging by the spines down the back of the leaves I think it's prickly lettuce-not to be fed.I've been caught out while picking dandelions and it's only when you wash it you notice the spines.See if anyone else agrees

Could also be chicory. It will have blue flowers on quite a tall stem if it is.

snap one of the long leaves in half if it has white milky sap it is a dandelion.
