i'm not a hater of weeds. i don't mind many of them. i'm not a big fan of vines however. i have a couple that have been spreading basically over everything for the past few years (i like a diverse weed population).

anyway, i have attached the two weeds, and a third that i like and has huge leaves. what are the weeds, and what is my best bet for getting rid of them now and in years to come?

thank you!

i actually tore off the largest leaf to play with it, thinking it was just a weed. i hope i didn't damage it too much. i wonder if it is a sucker from a root, or it is a growth from a seed. i'd like to maybe replant it somewhere else.

is this HOP something i could use for beer? my uncle makes a lot of beer and i could give it to him.

anyway, i will get you closer pictures of #1 when i am back from work. This one is the worst, as it has thorns in the vines.
