My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    I think it's a mallow or malva

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malva

    And yes it's edible in some places like middle east and Turkey.. usually the soft leaves are cooked, but not very exciting taste though :D

    It doesn't really harm other plants but it can spread crazily widely in spring.
