  Yep, prolific producers of seed which can last 45 years in the soil.  They come out as soon as I see them.

  Thank you so much both! That’s super helpful! @nutcutlet @BobTheGardener
  i also have one last unidentified plant. It looks like a weed? But it’s got little clusters of tiny green buds on them that look like it might flower?

  Mercurialis annua (spurge). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercurialis_annua

  PS Weeds are plants and they do flower!
