Need Help to Identify This Plant Please

I've got no idea what this is lol, it reminds a bit of rhubard but no where near like it really. It's grown underneath the bird feeders so I suppose it came from there.

Any ideas as to what it is please?

    Don't know it's name but I have a feeling it is a weed. I had similar near my bird feeder and pulled it out.
  • Could be pumpkin. Neighbours feeder is right next to our fence and i'm forever pulling these things up

    Might be burdock.Burdock6.jpg
  • I think it may be wild rhubarb. I don't think you can eat it - I think it's poisonous.
  • it's burdock

    many class it as a weed - but it's a very useful plant - especially if you sting yourself or get an insect bite ;)
