[WireNut45]

just started a few raised beds. tomatoes, peppers, beans, okra, pumpkin, cucumber, collard greens and swiss chard

I also have something growing that I am not quite sure what it is. I was hoping someone could help identify this

Welcome to the forum, Billy!

I changed the title of this topic so that people browsing the forum can see that you are asking for a Plant ID. I then moved this post from the Intro Forum to the Plant ID forum because this topic is about Plant ID and members are more likely to find your question there.

Good luck!

I'm sure it's something else but the way the flowers are clustering reminds me of common milkweed.

It really looks to me like a lettuce that has bolted--grew an elongated central stalk-- and is ready to bloom.
Is that likely -- did you have lettuce growing here?

[WireNut45]

I bought it as a lettuce, but I think the summer heat made it flower. Not sure what kind of lettuce it is though?

[applestar]

I could make a great leap and guess that it's a variety of cos/romain lettuce, but it's a wild guess at best.

...that's natural... high temperatures make lettuce to grow up and have little like invisible flowers and seeds...
