Hello Sam, Welcome. Please tell us where you are located? This will help narrow down the weeds that grow in your area. Is this weed popping up in the yard, in a flower bed? Do you have pictures of it in the ground? Any information you can provide will help. Thanks. – GardenGems Jan 19 '20 at 19:21

Hello, I am located down the south of england in hampshire. It is coming up in an allotment patch in the back garden which wasnt used for purpose for a couple of years as the previous owner was very old. I don't currently have a photo of it in the ground but I can take one next time I am at the house. Any help you can provide would be amazing. Thank you. – Sam Jakeway Jan 19 '20 at 20:08

I can't really tell all that well the leaves but I'm wondering if it is a type of dock or burdock. Are the roots horizontal or vertical? – meld51 Jan 20 '20 at 10:49
