I recently bought my first home and in the back yard are 2 enclosed 4'x4' garden beds I believe the previous owners used it for herb/veggies. We bought the home in winter and thought they hadn't been used in a while due to how barren it looked, but now its summer and it is sprouting up with this plant like crazy! There so far is 2 types of plants in there 1 we have ID already as spearmint and this is the other
If someone can give me a hand with IDing it I can take it from there Thank you!
