Found this in the garden, put it in a pot but it started to grow pretty fast so put it in the soil and it is still growing,
am I cultivating a weed or is it a plant???

Hi
It could be a Dahlia. They grow very fast at this time of year and the lighter yellowy green centre is very much like a Dahlia. Did it have a tuberous root on it when you dug it up? Slugs love them which would explain the nibbled leaves too.
I may be totally wrong so hope someone else can help too..... :-[

Morning T, no it did not have a tuberous root, as far as I can remember,
I agree it has been nibbled, cannot see what by.

Dunno, but now you have it you'll never want for seeds!

Thanks Amazin, at least at the moment it is in a confined place,
still I do like growing seeds.
