Hi all! New member here, looking forward to posting some more pics!

Really stuck on what this is.

I'm sure I grew it from seed along with my other plants such as tomatoes, peppers, chillies, but it is not bearing any fruit/flowers yet and I can't seem to find what it is.

It is about 1 metre high!

Thanks!

    It looks like a chenopodium of some sort, but not Fat hen or any of the ones I know well. It might be Chenopodium album

    I agree, a species of chenopodium.  If it is, you would be well advised to dispose of it before it seeds as they can produce upwards of 20,000 seeds which persist for decades in the soil.  Chenopodiums are sometimes grown as animal fodder but is generally considered a weed in a garden situation.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
