Say, Champ - those lighter-colored lil' weeds in the exact lower center with 2 more at a 45-degrees down from there are a nIGhtmaRE weed, possibly called ragweed or pigweed or whatever. They will get to be 6-7 feet tall, put out a MILLION seeds per plant stalk (at just a foot or 2 tall!) and will come back every year. Mine were basically from horse manure and kept me from mentally being at my best in '24. Last year, vowing vengeance, I did a lot of mowing right up to the plants and it was nearly 'fun'. Not for a few garden hoses, though. Another *type* may be at the extreme right in the pic as well. Be aware---eric g

That weed is called "Lambs Quarters" here, some call it "Pigweed" like Eric said. And yes it's a nightmare, do not let it go to seed or you will be one busy fella. Good luck.

Thank you, there. Wow - I got agreed with!
I get 'Lamb's EAR' confused with Mullein, a favorite, desirable weed that also has 'high aspirations'.
A whole 'nuther story, there---eg
