What is this plant? :-\
Cleared away an area and it's taken off. Wondering if I should get the strimmer out, or let it grow if it will look nice soon.

If its not grass, its clearly a weed.
And I said those very words as she grumbled about me attacking one of her roses with the strimmer.

no idea, but no harm in letting it do its thing later in the year .... it might be nice :y

It's a gamble. MrsT wants it gone, got nothing to loose I guess. :)

Japanese knotweed.

Japanese knotweed.
yup :y

It's not that, very different looking plant. Wrong colour too on the base ::)
Well aware of that plant too ;)

It may well just be a weed,but looking at those leaves it could possibly be.... but only possibly,Himalayan Balsam,quite a nice plant,but a bloody nuisance as it seeds every where after the flowering stage. So it's well worth bearing that in mind :y :y

Its a weed .... I pull those up all the time in my garden :y
Don't strim them .... they will easily pull up if your careful ;)

Thanks. Googled photos, can see where you are coming from on the leaf shape. Nothing like that was there before though.

Strimming is easy though ;D
I cleared this area few weeks back, planning to grow some veg. But these things have shot up

It will take you longer to get the strimmer out/strim/put away ... than it will to pull them up....plus if you strim they will grow back as you haven't got the root up ;)

Bit of research suggests it's a sunflower type plant, should give some nice flowers in the summer. 8)
Thanks for help :y
As for the Knotweed suggestions, given the serious impact that could have on a property. I find that a shameful suggestion.
