Can anyone tell me what this is?

[Thulpelly]

Moved into a new place and the garden is a bit wild. Does anyone recognise this plant? It’s just over a metre high.
Thanks!

Caper spurge?

Yes. Looks like it from a quick google. Something I want to remove then.. it’s growing so fast. Thank you!

It’s in its second year and about to flower. Once it’s flowered and produced its seeds, it will die.

Yes, but best to take the head off before it can seed everywhere

One year seeding is seven years weeding and all that

Watch out for the sap - it is toxic and cause nasty skin trouble so wear gloves when removing it. I wouldn't have spurge (euphorbia) in a garden at all.

I always let it seed, and then keep the least inconveniently placed seedling. Ditto Great Mullein. And foxglove, except I keep a lot more seedlings of those.

Though lots of people are happy to have Euphorbias in their house at Christmas, judging by the displays in garden centres, M&S and supermarkets.

But yes, the sap is dodgy. It can cause the skin to become photosensitive, so if you cut a Euphorbia, always be acutely aware of where the cut ends are, avoid dripping sap on to your legs or arms or wiping it on to your face, and wash any sap off the skin immediately. I think this is more important than wearing gloves. I've got a photosensitive patch on my shin, and every year it comes up in a rash the first day we get decent sunshine. It doesn't itch, and it's not a large patch, so it doesn't trouble me, but other people may have more sensitive skin.

Was musing on the wild self seeded foxgloves today

They're not top of the hit list just now though
