Thank you for the link. The weed is the perilla weed. We have started getting rid of it by manual removal.

Maybe perilla aka beefsteak plant (Perilla frustescens) ? According to sources its leaves should have a mint & musky smell. Check out the included link below for information and see if you have a match. If this isn’t a match, please resubmit with flowers photo. Thank you and best wishes!
