Final question for gardeners

wait it out and see if there are flowers,looks like it is a wildflower weedier just a wild flower,but with out seeing the flower there really is no way to identify

I have no idea, sorry! Looks a bit like goldenrod, but not really.

break a leaf and smell it.....it looks like peppermint in seed

Amaranth. Not sure which variety. Most people are familiar with the seeds in multi-grain bread, but the seeds are tedious to separate and clean from the rest of the seed head. Instead, cook and eat the leaves like you would kale, collards or other cooked greens. They are a powerhouse of nutrients.

Maybe only one plant this year, but you will probably have them for years to come since they re-seed easily. It's best to cut them before the heads ripen and form seeds. I personally grow the deep red version which means it's easy to spot the seedlings. I remove most, but allow a half dozen or so to grow so I can pick, cook and freeze the leaves for winter meals.

That could be an herb

If you like it it's a plant, if you don't like it it's a weed.

picture? Technically wild flowers are weeds.

looks a little like verbascum, but I'm not sure

I've always called it Milkweed and I pull it out of garden before seeds fall.
