If you know invasive plants could you reply to this comment? A reader has commented on an older post about an invasive plant she can’t identify. I don’t recognize it from her description, but maybe you do.

Light First Frost of Autumn 2009

Garden Bloggers Bloom Day September 2009

In its own way, frost may be one of the most beautiful things to happen in your garden all year . . . Don’t miss it. Like all true beauty, it is fleeting. It will grace your garden for but a short while this morning. . . . For this moment, embrace frost as the beautiful gift that it is.

Definitely pokeweed; its taproot is just like a pale carrot.

Could it possibly be pokeweed? http://www.altnature.com/gallery/pokeweed.htm
My aunt use to eat the young leaves but I have only dyed wool with the berries.
