What kind of plant is this?
Hi, I found several of these plants (or weeds?) growing in my back yard the other day but to my knowledge I’ve never seen them/it before. They have medium size green leaves and tiny tiny white flowers that are difficult to see. I’m going to attempt to upload a photo or two for you. Thank you in advance,

This looks like a weed, most likely Tartary buckwheat which came over from Asia. I could be wrong about the name of this weed, but it does not look like something you would have planted and probably arrived in bird dropping or by wind carried seed. The garden is full of change and mystery. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
