Hi, this is Steve and I apologize for the long delay, we have had issues with our system. You have likely figured out the answer, but I believe your plant is a horseweed, which as implied is a weed. Hopefully it has not yet gone to seed. It is usually easily pulled out or it could be cut at the base to remove. Thank you for your question to Ask Extension and we will strive to answer your question in a more timely manner next time.
