    I realize its probably strange to be asking he identity of a weed but im trying to get rid of a bunch of these. Anyone know what weeds these are at the bottom? There seem to be two different ones.

    Can you zoom in on the weed...This is not very identifiable this way... I am GUESSING creeping Jenny, but could be totally wrong...We need a closer view.

    Baby Tears latin name Micranthemum umbrosom. I have it growing all over under my greenhouse benches. I know I shouldn't but it keeps all weeds down.

    It wouldn't live at my house in the yard all winter but it probably does where the thenoobgardener lives.

    Just keep ripping it out and eventually the other plant will take over in it's place.

    Still not certain. Is there a weed on each side of the timber that needs ID? the bottom weed looks like creeping charlie to me, the top one, I am not certain...(unless creeping charlie and baby tears are known different names in different regions) Barb must be more familiar with that than I am, the baby tears I am familiar with grows in a hanging basket as a green foliage plant for the house.
    Can you take a picture of them individually and post them?

    Well, now, maybe after I look at them together, it's not the same......

    Barb, I do believe you have what I know as baby tears. I think the other is something else.

    Noob, That is a good idea.. Let us see what is there now. Are these pictures ones you took recently or were they "came with the house" pictures?

    BTW thenoobgardener, Congrats on your now ownership. Owning land is such a rewarding thing. You have control of the direction you want to go with it. It's a wonderful thing. Just go slowly.
