Weed ID help needed!
Guys... this plant has always grown in "waste" areas on our Southwestern NY state farm, although it's never been common. However, this year, there are at least a couple dozen in my strawberry patch, and I can NOT figure out what in the world it might be!
It's about 4 feet tall, with dentate (toothed) leaves that 'clasp' the stem... it looks like it might well be a biennial, starting with a "cabbage" base, and then extending into the flower spike the second year.
It has an unpleasant, almost "burnt rubber" odor to it.
Any ideas?
