    Here's a mystery plant growing alongside a garden plot in Long Island NY. Soils are sandy and well drained. Any ideas on what it might be?

    Answer

    Dear awaring, good afternoon. I can't identify your plant with confidence without flowers or fruits. It could be a very robust Epilobium (willow-herb, a member of the evening-primrose family). If it flowers, please upload an image so I can help you further.
