Here are some growing with some of that clover and some other weed. The plant I HAD there was either eaten by rabbits or was killed by these weeds.
Can you help me identify this weed (pic attached)?
I have these weeds all over my yard this year and even in my grass! They are driving my crazy. I pull them out and within a day or two they are all back again. They grow fast and tall if you don't catch them. They are under shrubs, mixed in with plants and in the grass which really drives me crazy. In past years I'd have a few here and there but this year they are literally all over. Even lining the edge of my lawn ion the driveway. What are they and how do I get rid of them. The pull out easily but I am sick of almost daily weeding. They are kinda fuzzy.

Can you help me identify this bush?
I have a bush that has leaves similar to a chrysanthemum but it has thorns. Don't know if it's a plant or a weed! It was here when we moved in last summer.
It is called the spotted spurge weed, also known as the prostrate spurge, is the most common type of spurge and is toxic to animals if eaten in large amounts. The leaves of spotted spurge have a "spot" or line of maroon in the center of the leaf vein. Stems will grow outward but will also grow upward when competing for sunlight with other plants. The stems of spotted spurge are purple or pink and are the easiest way to distinguish spotted spurge from other species of spurge.
If you are pulling out without getting all the roots, it will come back.
YOu might want to try argricultural vinegar . It is much stronger than store bought vinegar.
Ugh. Spurge. The salt/vinegar/dish soap mix should work. But, yeah, agricultural vinegar has a lower pH. It should be okay to use in an area where the plants you want to keep are not next to where you spray.
Take this picture to your nearest Nursery they should be able to tell you what weed it is. Other wise use the Agricultural vinegar.
This does not look like spotted spurge to me at all. They generally grow laterally, not tall and have far smaller leaves.

It appears to be pigweed.

These are difficult to control. I suggest taking one to your local nursery for ID and tips on eradication.
spotted spurge is low growing and forms a carpet like plant. The taller ones aren't spurge.
Spurge is a type of fast-growing weed that can quickly become a problem if not treated. This annual summer weed grows low to the ground and spreads fast. The earlier you catch this weed growing in your lawn, the quicker you can control it
To help lessen the chances of it coming back, remove spotted spurge before it has a chance to flower and produce seeds. Small patches of spotted spurge plants can also be killed using a read-to-use lawn weed killer, like Scotts® Spot Weed Control for Lawns.
There is an app called Pl@ntnet that uses facial recognition software to help id plants it's pretty accurate.
Pigwwed/Hogweed/Fireweed
American burnweed is the taller ones, they grow in thatch layer and easy to pull up like you say.
Burnweed and spurge, I don't use vinegar.
I work for a lawn care company, we use "surepower" in the summer months. It works fast, and its thorough. It's glyphosphate free and will preserve cool climate grasses.
