Close, but motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) doesn't seem to be right. The
leaves are different
and mine has really stiff, sharp hairs that motherwort doesn't seem to
have.

But thanks. Next guess?

It is considered a medicinal herb and also an invasive, exotic weed.
Pops up in my yard a lot (but has recently been overwhelmed by an
even more invasive weed, garlic mustard).

It's early May and I'm in South Jersey and I have a weed I'd
like help identifying.

It started growing in a few places.
I was going to let it go for a while but noticed it had fine, stiff,
sharp, hairs all along the stems so I said the heck with that baby,and
dug it up. I would still like to know what it is.
