New here help identifing what's growing

Hi I let my kid plant a bunch of vegetables and we can't figure out what's growing. I'll upload some pics. Greatly appreciated in advance, new to gardening.

 

They are around 6 feet tall

 

My name is Bill and we are renting a new house that has a lot of garden space and different plants growing everywhere. I learned in the past 2 months how tough gardening is and would rather be fishing. But it's growing on me a little. From Pennsylvania in the US, had a British boss who was a retired detective in Scotland Yard, one of the best people I ever knew.

Like you I'm new to gardening and have had a lot of advice and help over the last few months, it's a lifeline to plants I have no idea about

Not sure what the plants are but I'm sure another member will be along soon to identify it for you

Good luck with the garden and look forward to catching up with you in the forums

 

Hi Bill, and welcome to gardener's corner!

Do you still have the seed packs that your child sowed from? You say that you think it could be a vegetable? My gut thought is that it might be some spinach, that is going to seed - maybe with plans of world domination?!!

 

Didn't buy any spinach seeds. We bought corn, sweet peppers, Jalapeños, cucumbers, watermelon, and tomatoes. We have no clue what this is. There's 2 cucumber plants growing next to it I think. It has yellow flowers on that one.

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Bill.

 

Thanks for the warm welcomes, I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens with this plant. I don't think they are weeds, but then again I have no idea.

Possibly Amaranth.

 

Here's 2 more from today, it grew another couple inches overnight. Looks like a little Xmas tree on the top. Still no idea.

 

The little xmas tree may be the flower waiting to open. Once it does you'll be able to get a better idea of what it is.

 

Could it be an Echium?

 

Def not that.im going to be away for a couple days, maybe something cool will happen when I get back and I'll update.

 

I first thought it was fat hen...and now I have seen these photos I am pretty sure of it! It is edible
