Thread OP

I thought I was growing brocolli rabe, but then I quickly realized it was something else. Anyone have an idea what this plant/weed is? I'm puzzled!

Looks like some kind of pigweed to me. Amaranthus

Oh dear!

It looks like Amaranthus palmeri, a very aggressive weed that can grow 3 inches in a day! It is just making its way into Minnesota. Each plant produces at least 100,000 (one hundred thousand) seeds!

A very very bad (and prohibited) weed
