Nope . A member of the dock family . Grandma called it sour dock . Not a recognized name . Could be yellow dock or curly dock . A spring green but kind of bitter especially at that stage .I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is horseradish?

just made a few tire planters myself. The dolphin one for my yard and the rose one for my grandma
