    The following are plants that look like nettle to me, but i am almost certain they are not. They do not have the sharp spikes, instead the stems are covered in hairs. There is a similarity with nettle, though. There are no flowers, and right now they are about 2.5 feet high. This is in Western Massachusetts. I would like to know what type of plant this is, so any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Probably an aster family plant.

    I am wondering if it could be a young goldenrod.

    Looks like something in the Mint family.
