I am new here, and not sure if I am posting this in the correct spot, so please re-direct me if necessary.

This plant has appeared in my garden. I had ordered some seeds from a small DIY heirloom gardener, that were supposed to be Telekia Speciosa, and this is what came up. This is NOT Telekia Speciosa, and I don't know what it is, and whether or not it came from the seeds I planted, or if a bird deposited these seeds. The vendor has no clue.

It is very tall - at least 3 feet, vigorous grower, very small flower, and the fruits are hard and green for awhile, and then turn purple filled with many yellow seeds - not very attractive, and pushing out other plants, so I'd like to pull it up if it's not edible. Fruits are about the size of green peas, smaller than chick peas, in clusters.

Thanks.

I am in NYC.
