Cat claw and Wedelia (I was warned when I bought it). Still pulling out
Coronilla varia (crown vetch) after 5 years.

The Weed of the Year award goes to Pokeweed again this year with a close
second of Giant Ragweed. The pokeweed took over the back yard around the
shed to dizzying heights of 7 feet -- since the area was already elevated a
solid 3-4 feet (retaining wall & patio) that 7 feet looked even more
impressive.

We had a bumper crop of star thistle around here. But I finally figured out
that I can crowd them out by planting millet. Woopee.

oxalyis, japanese clover, dandelions - they all did brilliantly - especially
because I gave up weeding by July....LOL

Ground Ivy. It was REALLY, REALLY bad this year. I tried the 2 teaspoons of
Borax in a quart of water on a small patch to test it a few weeks ago and
so far it hasn't done squat. Next will be 4 teaspoons on another patch.

They all did well - lambs quarter, dandelion, sorrel, oxalis, ground ivy,
clover, etc, etc.
But I allow all the weeds to grow until they flower and pull them before
they seed. Most are beneficial to attract insects and the ones with deep tap
roots help to pull up nutrients from the soil. The clovers and sorrel I use
as green mulch.
The ground ivy I definitely pull out of the beds but it makes a nice hardy
ground cover for pathways.

All the usual barnyard ones, we had a new garden with a liberal coating of
barnyard 'poo' beautiful and black, and lots of energy to grow anything put
in it.
(purslane, pigweed for sure) and a few others I don't know names of, but
know them from years of garden pulling at the farm.
At least they are easy to pull out!

Lambs Quarters, common groundsel, flixweed, burdock, and bindweed.
Chickweed was rampant in the front, and we had our first occurrence of
common mallow.

The winner as in every year is Jerusalem Artichoke.

Oxalis!

I had very few weeds this year! Maybe a few dandelions and some lamb's
quarters.

Burclover, hands down. I must have pulled 10,000 (literally -- one day
I counted 500) and there were always more. I think I'd rather kill the
entire lawn (HA!) than do that again.
