Is this a weed…. Or plant?

[Custardpudding]

I’ve given it the benefit of the doubt but I think it’s a weed. I have lovingly cultivated four. But I wonder if they have grown from bird seed… photos attached! Thank you!!

Can you try a plant id app? It’s harder to tell before it flowers.

Impossible to tell from the leaves, they are a very common shape. For instance, it could be golden rod (a garden plant) or greater willowherb (a weed) - or many other things.

There isn’t a divide into weeds and plants, they’re all plants. If it’s a plant you don’t want, you will consider it a weed, but that’s your decision.

It is possible to identify plants without flowers, but difficult to see the necessary details in a photo. Your plant looks like Great Willowherb, which has clusters of deep pink flowers. It seeds freely, so best to remove flower spikes once they go over, before the seeds develop. But it could be something else

Does it matter? I mean you either like the look of it or you don't. If you don't get rid, if you do keep and nurture.

I think you are right and it’s great willow herb so it will be gone. My planting space is precious and I have seedling waiting to be put in and need the space. Thank you all
