Question
I don't know what this is it is growing in my garden and in my dirt pile in Florida
Answer
Dear Kenbotant, your plant looks like Ricinus communis (castor-bean), a member of the Euphorbiaceae (spurge family). The palmately lobed leaves with the petiole attached near the center of the leaf blade (rather than at the base near one margin) are identifying characteristics for this species. Best wishes.
