that nice black soil looks like a new layer of compost ... if so.. perhaps it wasnt finished properly.. to kill all the weed seeds in it.. and that is why you have all the weeds ..

is not.. then i am jealous of your soil .. lol...

ken

ps: i dont understand why you seeded chili and tomato into the lawn?????

its a patch in the lawn behind the house. so thought of growing chillies and tomato :-(

Be careful to avoid the peppers and tomatoes if broadcasting any broadleaf herbicides! All those weeds in your pictures blow into my yard 24/7 via their airborn seeds, so don't overthink the compost, just make sure it's finished lol.

I agree with peren.all’s IDs. The last one might be a different Erigeron.

it is always helpful if you give general location such as city and state or province since we get folks posting from all over the world.

Yes I think you are correct Babs. Possibly E. annuus. I knew it was all too familiar.

I added location on the top (chicago). Thank you all for the help. I cleaned the whole area.
