I did not plant any seeds,so I have no clue how it found a way to my garden.but I'm very happy it did.I noticed it this spring and thought it might be a weed.I decided to let it grow a bit to make sure,I am glad now I didn't compost it.I think it's a beautiful plant.I brought a piece to Viktoria and she ID it for me (she's amazing).I understand it is a form of Parsnip,and edible,the stalks can be candied.I shall look for a recipe.One thing bothers me,it is a magnet for yellow jackets.
