Sure looks like wild violet to me. Google wild violet images and compare. Think you guessed right. Tough cookie to control.

I don't think it is a wild violet as I have lots of those, too. The root system is different from a violet and the leaf is slightly different. thank you for the response.

I don't see anything about that plant that is different from some of the wild violets that I've seen.

It's garlic mustard, Alliaria petiolata.

Thank you so much. It is indeed garlic mustard. Now I just have to get rid of it!

This is an easy weed to control since pulling isn't necessary although it's usually an easy one to pull with complete root system.As a biennial, its' normal life span is only 2 years. Weed-wack or cut regularly if you'd rather do that than pull. As long as they don't make seeds, they won't spread. However, there's probably plenty of them growing in the area so this is something to look out for every year. Sniffing a crushed or torn leaf will give this plant away if you are unsure if it may be a violet or hollyhock sprout instead.
