Milkweeds (Asclepias) have their leaves in pairs or sometimes whorled, not
alternate, Dickhead.

Throw it out, maybe. Poke Weed is edible.

Found this foot tall...weed? Seems to have magically appeared in
about 2 days. I just pulled bolted spinach from the bed on
Saturday and Monday evening and never noticed this foot-tall,
foot-wide plant was there.

Could this be an avocado plant?!
Certainly has a tropical look to the leaves.

I think I may have tossed a avocado pit or two into compost sometime
and mixed it into the soil last fall.

Unless it is a volunteer of somethign I can't recognize.
Don't think it is an Avocado. An Avocado would not grow
that much in 2 days.

Looks like a milkweed to me. Also looks like something I'd dig out
and throw in a garbage bag.
