It looks very like some of the European amaranths, but I don't know which one!

I'm only 65! That's not to old to learn to be a permie, right?

I was going to say some sort of goosefoot/cheopodium. It looks really pretty with those flower spikes. Worth finding out what it is because chenopodium/amaranth tend to be good edibles.

Google image search finds it looks very like iva annua (sump weed or marsh elder)

tennessee plants
the online images tend to vary a lot though, and it's not a plant I'm familar with.
