Name That Plant!

can anyone identify this weed

12 years ago

This has been growing among my raspberry canes. I want to destroy it but would like to know what it is so I know what I am dealing with. I don't want to use chemicals in my garden so any tips on getting rid of it would be appreciated.

Looks like Rumex obtusifolia, AKA Broadleaf Dock.

Does it really matter? Just hit it with some Weed B Gone max.

It looks like chickweed to me as well. I'm surprised it survived the summer heat. Use Ortho Clover & Chickweed killer (purple cap). It will take care of it.
