Hello,
I planted a few plants including a jade a moss in my outdoor planter early this summer to bring life to my plain balcony. A few weeks ago, I noticed there was a new little plant growing and thought I was having luck with my first planter. Now it's grown to be about a foot tall and keeps growing and doesn't look like anything else I planted. Can anyone help me identify if this is a weed and how to proceed?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Could be Lambsquarters. A wild edible if it is... chock full of vitamin A and K as well as minerals. I'd say just pull 'em up if you don't want 'em—don't let 'em go to seed.

It is a weed.....I think it is sorrel, but not sure of that. No its not sorrel.....just pull it out before it takes over and its roots are hard to dislodge.

That's lambsquarter. Pull it and eat it, lightly steamed with butter. Yummy.

Looks like lambs quarter.

Definitely Lambs quarters (Chenopodium album).

It's not a weed if you like to eat it.
