Hello, I have some kind of weed all over my yard that pops out here and there but not in masses though. Has aggressive root system, long thick main and then these guys come out of it. I wonder if I use Round Up on them will it affect any of my plants around? THank you in advance

Not something I've grown before, it looks like a peanut plant.

Thank you, Donna. I looked it up. Leaves really look like what I have. But root system... mine is like a great system underneath the surface. Main root is as thick as man's thumb, going pretty deep down. And these guys just hold on that main root in groups... you pull out one and there are more ready to come from the same spot. And it's hair roots are so invasive, they are right there where I have newly planted roses and such... and it's all in packed hard clay! Maybe I need to let it grow a little bit to check what this thing is doing actually...

I found one tiny straggling flower today in another corner of the yard, and I think that confirms your Epilobium theory is absolutely correct. Thanks again!

It is a grape family* climber, what's left is figuring out which particular one. Spotting a likely seed source plant nearby, with its fully expressed foliage characters and other adult features would definitely help with this. *To which all previously suggested plants belong
