Invasive Broad-leaved Weed

MimiGold
12 years ago

I am hoping someone can help me identify this very invasive broad leaved weed that has overtaken my yard and now making its way into my gardens.

I've looked everywhere for a picture of a similar weed, but came up empty.

Here are 2 pictures:

This 1st picture is of a cluster of this weed. It is growing behind my shrubs & very hard to get at to pull up.

The 2nd picture is one I am holding, which I pulled this morning. They are sprouting up all over the yard and in flower beds.

Hopefully, someone here can identify it for me!

Thanks!
