Hi all, started working on my garden (first home) and the garden is covered with the weed I've attached the pic of. Couldn't find anything like it when I went searching online. Hoping you can help... I plan on putting a veg garden where these have spread so don't want to use chemicals. Can I just pull them up? Anyone know what species they are?
