can anyone tell me what the small brown clover like weed that came up
all over my plant pots this year..It seems to get a hold on everthing
that is in the garden!

With little yellow flowers? I think it's some sort of creeping oxalis.
As for getting rid, I wish I knew - it's invading me too! Glyphosate
painted on will kill it, or if it's in too closely with other things I
think you just have to weed, weed and weed again. But it seems to seed
like crazy if you take your eyes off it for ten seconds, so it keeps
coming back. :-/


Oxalis corniculata perhaps?
(http://www.robsplants.com/plants/OxaliCorni.php) If so, I too have it ;(
