Notes:
I took the evening photo in early July; the others are from late August. The plant is about 18″ tall. It has alternate, slightly toothed, pinnately veined leaves and a hairy stem. The flowers are small — white with a violet or blue tinge. The seed pods are little balls. Petioles are absent. I thought that it might be in the Lepidum family, but it doesn’t match any photos that I have found online (there are no flat little wafer leaves).

Maybe a species of Lobelia. Yours might be either bladder-pod lobelia aka indian-tobacco (Lobelia inflata) or pale-spiked lobelia (Lobelia spicata). I am guessing L. inflata?. You can get information on both to compare with the link below. https://gobotany.newenglandwild.org/species/lobelia/inflata/
