    I have searched and searched & cannot find our weed.
    It pops up in voraciously in the garden in the spring. Easy to pull after a rain. It has 3-4 leaves, oval in shape(and not a poison ivy of any sort) on a very thin purple stem. At the end, in the ground, it has a seed (usually round and white)with a fine root system dangling. Very prolific. We have a lot of birds and trees in our neighborhood. When dried, the seed turns brown. We have black weed paper down with mulch so the root system in shallow. Help!!!
