not offhand. if you break a leaf off is the sap milky?

at first glance i'm tempted to say some type of leaf lettuce, but i'm not really an expert lettuce grower. and i certainly would not take my word for it being edible or not either. :)

I will check next time I get a chance to see if there is sap. Good suggestion!
