I posted photos once before, but they were hard to determine, so here I go
again. I hope these might be alittle better! Any guesses are appreciated.

I agree - the photos are a little indistinct (something to measure scale
against would be helpful), but the weeds in question look very much like the
young growth shoots of Japanese knotweed, Polygonum cuspidatum. A tough weed
to control, but control you must - it is on many states' noxious weed
listing. Lots of info online with a Google search.
