What is this?

Hello, can anyone please identify this?  Popped up in my garden this year,  seems to have masses of seeds?  Thanks in advance

Looks suspiciously to me like  Russian vine aka Mile-a-Minute plant.  It flowers briefly, seeds prolifically, grows like the clappers (gets huge) and is and unattractive menace for 50 weeks of the year.   I would pull it out and keep an eye out for any seedlings.

Agreed...Fallopia baldschuanica ..common name Russian vine etc.
