I planted this in my garden after starting it from seed. It came from a bell pepper seed packet but I’m sure it’s not a bell pepper plant. I submitted this question to you two weeks ago and never got a response. Can you please identify what the plant is. Thank you.

We're sorry that you didn't receive our reply; perhaps it wound-up in a spam folder. We'll paste it here:
We can confirm this is not a pepper plant, whose foliage has different characteristics; it looks instead like a very common annual weed called American Burnweed. Although native, it's considered undesirable and weedy in garden settings, and should be relatively easy to pull up, despite its size.
