Plant ID please!

What is this tall thing? I think it must have self-seeded because I'm sure this isn't one of the pots I planted more than one thing in. The hover flies love it.

And a close-up..

According to iNaturalist app it's Common Lambs quarter but it did give lots of other suggestions which looked similar!

It's one of the goosefoots, Chenopodium. Lambs quarter is Chenopodium album. Good King Henry is another Chenopodium, as is Aztec Broccoli, both of which are grown as vegetables (the leaves are eaten)

Thanks both! Although I’ve got a pretty live and let live approach to gardening I’ve yanked it out - it was strangling my poor stunted dahlia..
