Hello!
My Mom has the wildest plant growing her in compost bed! It looks almost like sow thistle, but not quite right - the leaves are more sharply than gently lobed and it is over 12 feet tall.
Location - on Cape Cod (MA)
Her local master gardener has no clue.

I hope it isn't a giant hogweed. They have been found growing in W. Mass. The sap is highly toxic and causes blisters that lead to scarring.
Here's a site with details.
Nope - flowers are all wrong for a giant hogweed.
