I used every variation of search words & terms I could think of-- 'weed' fills the image sections with marijuana, so that didn't help much ;)-

And sorry about the dark pics, got sidetracked and it got dark- but anyway, in all my searching I couldn't find any pics of leaves that look like these:
409633

The whole thing:
409634

And the main stalk, over an inch in diameter now-
409635

The problem is, this thing is growing like crazy- it's over 7' tall right now, and a month ago it didn't exist! The wife planted some prepackaged assorted wildflower seeds last year, and this just showed up. It's actually nice looking, doesn't look like a weed but at the rate it's growing the thing is going to eat the house!

I need to know if it's good or bad-- although I'm pretty much a believer in that all vegetation is evil ;)

Don't know where you live, but check out Queen Anne's Lace: https://www.invasiveplantatlas.org/subject.html?sub=5514, or possibly poison hemlock: https://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/fnr/fnr-437-w.pdf

It is indeed poison hemlock, many thanks. Add this to the other 'plants' thread ;)
