These have been growing by our back door since we moved in, and its the only place I see it. To me it looks like parsley, maybe?

Hi Jaime,

A lot of plants look like parsley so let's figure it out before you add it to your salad. Can you post more photos? A side view showing the stem and leaf attachment would be good. How tall are these plants? Have you ever seen them bloom? When you crush a leaf, what does it smell like? (Now go wash your hands really good).

It's about 2 ft. tall. I have not seen it bloom. We had cut it down when we first moved in at the beginning of june but not since then. I'm not sure how to describe the smell. Fresh and green haha

Are the stems hollow? You may have Fool's Parsley (Aethusa cynapium).

or possibly Bidens bipinnata.

They are not hollow. When I snap the stems, they put of a fresh chile pepper smell.

Then Bidens bipinnata might be right - I think they smell spicy. Thanks Jaime!
