| At first I thought it was a pepper plant due to the triangular leaves, but now I am not so sure since there is no fruit. I fear it might be a weed, especially since it is the tallest item in my garden....
What can it be?

| Yeap aka Poke salad, a lot of ppl love to cook the young leaves and eat them like spinach or any other green BUT I have never tried them. We have them growing all over the place, my neighbor loves them. Pull it before it seeds EVERYWHERE, cuz they will which is why they are everywhere around here. My neighbors never remove any kind of weeds they just let them grow and set seed so I get the results too. :( Aqua |

| If you are going to eat poke, you have to cook it, dump the poisoned water out, then cook it again. http://www.aces.edu/dept/extcomm/newspaper/june21b02.html |
