This weed tries to spread whenever/wherever it can in my yard. So I was just curious about its name --to learn more about treatment and prevention. Location: Memphs,TN. Growing Zone: 7

It is Euphorbia maculata or closely related sp. Pull it before you have hundreds from seed.

Looks like ragweed, though it doesn't usually get that big.

I'm strictly a flower/shrub gardener, but if that's not one of the edibles you planted, my first guess would be that it's a morning glory. They're everywhere. In fact, they almost make me believe in spontaneous generation. ;-) Maybe someone else will chime in.

Yes Asclepias sp. Here is the Bonap for Asclepias Did you see the flower color? It would help narrow it down.

Looks like it might be Abutilon theophrasti - Velvetleaf, if the leaves are fuzzy. http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/weeds/plants/velvetleaf.htm Love the last sentence of this description: "In an outdoor emergency, the soft leaves can be used as a substitute for toilet paper."

Weed whenever you can but it works best after a rain as it has a relatively long taproot.
