Plant ID Help, Please...

This thing popped up in my flower bed this spring. It looked interesting, and grew very quickly, I kept watering it to see what it turned into.

It's still cool looking despite the bug holes, but I'm starting to get concerned that it's going to be "invasive", and if it gets much bigger it's gonna be a problem to remove.

It's about 4 1/2 foot tall, that's a 3400lb boulder in front of it that is around 2' tall.

Thanks in advance....pics forthcoming....

Don't know what it is, but it'd be a darker green if you fertilized it with hi-nitrogen!

This is very disappointing...

You need to spray/kill that immediately. I don't know what it is, but it's a PITA when it "seeds" out.

Nightshade maybe ?

I don't think it's salad, but it could be. Either way, you don't want it in your beds.

Definitely pokeweed, the flowers are a dead giveaway.
