This started growing like crazy in my blueberry pot

[Midwestnoob]

I've started a few blue berry plants in pots this spring and I understand they won't really take off unroll they are established for new year. But this started growing in my blueberry pot and I don't know what it is? Any ideas? is it just a common weed?

Did you rub the leaves to find out if there is a fragrance? Are the stems square or round? i can't quite tell.

 

[Midwestnoob]

They are round and I haven't rubbed them to get a smell out of it yet.

There's not much of a smell other than green grass. I also noticed it growing in my other blueberry pot. All I'm concerned about is that if it's not blueberry it's getting taken out.

Okay, well those leaves do not belong to any blueberry i've ever met but i expect i have not met them all. Best to get a second opinion before taking them out. You grew them from seed, or?

I'm looking at that and thinking 'nightshade family' - but the lobed leaf tips are unlike the one I know. Can you give us a better look at the flowers in the axils? Plants are always best id'ed from their flowers.

It's definitely not blueberry, if that's all you need to know.

This is one of the Pigweeds (Amaranthus sp.).
