p-nut blurted out in alt.home.lawn.garden:

Just bought this house last fall and have tons of things to do in the yard.
First I'm not sure what this weed is but it's popping up in all the beds.

And this ivy is a mess.
Any idea how I'll be able to get rid of it?

Thanks for the responses. Least I know what I'm tackling now.
I plan to rip up all the ivy this weekend and hit it with some roundup.
I have a stretch of about 75ft is the problem.
