  It looks a bit like one of the oenotheras but I don't know Ontario weeds.

  Rosie - sorry - most of us are based in the UK and Northern Europe - we mostly have different weeds

  Have you asked your neighbours, they may be able to identify it, or a local gardening club. It may be a weed that should not be dug up as some can spread more by that treatment; it may be that you have to use a weedkiller. Good luck with it.

  Hi Rosie,

  As Dovefromabove says,  most of us are in the UK, and i would suspect our weeds are a little different from yours across the pond.

  However, it does look a little like one of our most common weeds 'Chenopodium album' which we simply call Fat Hen here in Yorkshire. I think you have a very similar family of weeds which are called 'Goosefoot'.

  We have a number of websites here in the UK which are fine for identifying 'our' weeds, but i don't know how helpful they would be for you. 

  You could have a look at the ontarioweeds.com, website, but it looks a little too agriculture orientated for the novice gardener.

  Good hunting
