My girlfriend planted sunflowers in that pot but something else started growing. We can't identify it. Can you help?
Looks a hell of a lot like stinging nettle at a glance. Do the leaves have angry little hairs on them that hurt to touch? Congratulations, you likely have A N G E R Y spinach, use hot water or a hot pack to decompose the venom (formic acid, which is heat labile a little below 100f) and cook the leaves for a delicious spinachy snack.
Oh shoot. That's what I thought but I was surprised it could end up in our pot. I'll be careful then.
Looks like brennesle
Aw crap. Yeah it does look like that.
It’s a great plant!! Edible and stores nitrogen so it’s great as fertiliser
Looks like Urtica.

Usually grows at the side of roads and in forests in my area.
Should this be it, it's not toxic and can even be brewed as a tea if I am not mistaken.
That post is old lol. But yes, they're nettles or urtica.
Didnt even notice the age. Was just browsing some plant communities and noticed a plant I knew looked alike :D
