Question
Hi! This is actually a little outside the New England area, but I suspect it's a plant that is also found in New England. The seed blew in through my window in NYC, into one of my potted plants and started growing. I did not have the heart to weed it. I think it may be a tree just based on how it is growing. It has been growing for a little over a month or so. Thank you so much!
Answer
Dear Olga, The seedling that is growing in your pot of soil is a species of Chenopodium (goosefoot). It is an annual plant that is a member of the Amaranthaceae. I would need to see fruits to tell you which species, but the leaf blade outline is consistent with Chenopodium album (white goosefoot).
