Topic: is it a weed? or is it a plant?

[Yuet_Lee]

please help with this plant,
I  planted this early in June with some other seedling,
I thought it is a plant but as it grow bigger,
I got a feeling it's a weed >:(
Please anybody know this plant!
If it's a weed I want to pull it out before it set any seeds >:(

Sorry Yuet_Lee, Im not familiar with this one at all :-\

I vote for watchful waiting. It takes awhile for plants to progress from flower to seed so I usually wait to see one flower for identification purposes then yank them out if bad news.  So many times the birds bring something interesting so it is fun to wait and see. The adventure of gardening!

it looks like Atriplex patula (Common Orache), which is a weed and a plant, probably edible if you were hungry

thank you Rhubard!
I did thought it is a weed, but the leaves are a bit longer & narrow,
so I'm not too sure!
thx ;)

I got some of those in the mix of meadow flowers last year.

They were pretty.

I pulled them out after they had flowered and they did not re-grow. By definition that means they are not weeds!

[Yuet_Lee]

oh! yes!
thank Purple

It looks a bit like quinoia (or however its spelled) from a previous thread.
