Hello Lemmies

Can anyone ID this plant thing growing in-between my rhubarb? The rhubarb appears to get along with the "intruder" though

~~Looks like something in the mint/sage family Lamiaceae with the square stems, parallel leaves, and the look of that flower bud.~~

I am way off. That's an amaranth/spinach family now that I have my glasses on. I think that's Amaranthus retroflexus or common amaranth. It is a weed, so rip it!

Seeds are edible. You can rip it out while still green and shake the seeds out after it has dried. Superfood for free.

Seek by I naturalist is an app you can point your camera at and it tells you what the species is
