Chenopodium album, or similar.

Believe it or not this is an annual plant that comes up from seed - and it does get big! Cut it to the ground to remove and then deal with it from there. Don't let it go to seed and that will help with future seedlings.

Whoa, Nelly! I have never seen lamb's quarters get that big! Hope you didn't let it go to seed...

It's a government HUD foreclosure house and the back yard is a total jungle. Insane; had 14 trips in a U-Haul to the landfill with beer cans and dirty diapers. The yard has some serious issues? 3 city lots all fenced but total jungle. Sat vacant for several years before government listed it for re-sale. Pretty sure there was a nice landscaped yard years ago, has concrete flower beds and stone walkways hidden under overgrowth. Lambs quarters; figures? The corn seems to be doing good? Hahaha

OMG what a mess?

We have one next door to us, too. It has been empty for 7 years.. Mowed only twice. The thistles are thick and we now fight them, too. Good thing we have a field in between us.. Damn Bank Of America..

Corn? That looks like Johnson Grass. Look that one up and you will forget all about your Lambs Quarters.

Thanks Susie; considered to be one of the ten worst weeds in the world. Well so much for corn on the cob. Abstract says sold low interest government loan $165,000 and was foreclosed within two years, then was vacant for several years, I paid $19,000 cash. Been working all day getting this old fountain back online.

You've done a splendid job!
