Thanks for the info.

if it is oxalis it is a pretty difficult weed to
eradicate without using some digging or chemicals.
i don't use sprays on the lawn or gardens here so
when we had this weed show up and take over some
gardens it took me some time to get it mostly
under control (there's some still around but many
fewer than before).

the important thing for me was to dig fairly
deep holes and to scrap the top layer of soil
with the roots and plants into the holes and to
bury it. this was done before most of the flowers
had set seeds so that kept a lot of the next
generation from having an easy start. that was
last year, this year in that same garden i use
a stirrup hoe to scrape the surface so any
remaining plants cannot spread or drop seeds and
there are only a few of them in there. which i'm
just now finally getting back to weeding the
whole thing so there are going to be some pods
and seeds. those pods have a lot of very very
tiny seeds in them.
