I am getting overrun by two weeds this year, well two additional weeds
anyway.
Thing is I never saw them before this year, so I'm wondering where they came
from (bird droppings??).
At any rate the weeds are reasonably easy to remove, but they are just so
aggressive
Anway, here are some shots,
First, the garden troll is threatening me for invading his territory

Now, these things appeared last year, utterly out of the blue. Simple to
pull up, but reproduce like rabbits

They have purplish/green leaves and stems and the leaves resemble pentagons.
These are small, really easy to pull up, but choke any plants they get
around.

Kinda hard to see it. Could it be Scotch Broom?

Definitely not Scotch Broom, I have that in spades along the back fence.
Scotch Broom is a very woody scrub, which is also almost impossible to
eradicate. This is a single plant, almost 4 foot tall when mature with that
mass of yellow flowers on top. Like I said, the stem is almost purple.

The absence of visible details makes identification difficult (I can't
even tell whether the yellow bits are flowers or capitula), but the
habit reminds me of some daisies (Lactuca, Mycelis, ...). Probably not
one of those - the flowers/capitula are too large - but perhaps a
related genus.

I'll try to get a better shot of it, including the leaves.
