I have seen these growing in the lawn, and I had one pop up in a pot of soil that I got from the garden. Just wanted to know what this might be as I am going to let it keep growing.
The above plant might be silvery cinquefoil.

This plant appeared for the first time this year in a shade garden under a spruce tree. The leaves are in pairs toward one side of the stem, then alternate with 2 on the other side of the stem about every 4″. The flowers are single and white and hang down between the pairs of leaves. They look like potato flowers. It appears to spread primarily by runners, white roots that in this garden, ran about 4″ below the surface. They reminded me of a member of the solanum family, but I couldn’t identify it from my books. It also caused a minor reaction on my skin. Thanks for any help that you might be able to give me. Lynne
The above is most likely a
Physalis sp. but we cannot make a deifinitive identification.

Not sure how to describe it. Hope the photos will enable you to know what it is. Concerned it might be the start of Giant Hogweed.
The above plant is not giant hogweed, most likely Cirsium vulgare, Bull Thistle.

Greetings,
I live on a rural property in Totten ham Ontario and have this nasty weed setting into every part of my yard, not sure what it is, I would like to read up on it.
Generally it creeps along and roots into the soill, it also has a hollow stem…
I went through your entire listing and thought it might be Chickweed, Stellaria media, Can you please confirm?
Regards,
Ed Zacarias
