Horseweed. If you don't have any horses then it's not weed.

and a million more next year.. if you let them flower to seed .. isnt it apparent how easily they seeded in from god knows where ...

its a weed in my garden ...

ken

It's a native with edible, peppery leaves...

I didn't know it was edible. Peppery hmm. Ken wasn't exaggerating about millions of seeds. If they appear in a drab corner, I'll let them flower, but I make it a point to pull them out afterwards. They aren't allowed next to grow next any more valued plants.

Jay, I think I get the horse-weed joke...if it was a joke. All horses everywhere are thinking, "If only!"
