What weed is this?

[venys]

In the garden before the storms due later on today. I have been cultivating these weeds wondering what they are but it's crunch time if they should.be removed or not. Can anyone tell me what they are?

Picture?

Sorry, I read your post before the photos showed up

Sorry, don't recognise it

I have it in my front garden. Least I know it's a weed now.

Looks interesting, I'd let it flower so it would be more identifiable, but I'd get rid of it before it spreads seeds.

Are those seed pods or flower buds? The lower leaves look willow herbish, but I'm not sure about the tops.

I think they are flower buds but the plants have been there a few months. Thought they would have flowered by now.

I thought it looked like willow herb too

Looks like what we call golden rod here. I'm massively allergic to it.

Definitely not sticky willy (although that appears in our garden too). Coild be either willow herb or golden rod. Reading on Wikipedia they don't think it's golden rod that causes Hayfever as the pollen is too sticky. But it looks good for the bees. If it's willow herb it seems too invasive. (Which it is actually taking over my.garden). Hurry up and flower so I just know what you are!!!

Looks like golden rod to me. Solidago virgaurea.

Thank you all :)
