    Anyone know what this might be? In some of the plots it is 5-6 feet tall and in others it is only 1 foot to 18 inches tall. I am taking it out with the weed whacker but if it's something I want; I will stop...

    Thanks for your help!

    Thank you so much! Is this something deer will eat or should I cut it back/out?

    Or you could eat it ...

    According to Wikipedia,
    "This plant is widely cultivated across Europe for its edible leaves and seeds. It is widely used as a condiment in Northern Europe (particularly Denmark, Norway and Germany)."
