New Yard, New Weeds to ID

[MPRC]

Here we go, we are buying a house about an hour from where we are now and the weeds are totally different. We are in Western Oregon South of Eugene.

I'm going to start a running thread to ID my yard.

1. Quarter sized rounded spoon shaped leaves. Leaves are a tiny bit waxy, low growing and found in clumps.


2. Dandelion shaped non dandelion weed with a strong root. Couldn't find any with blossoms, sorry.


3. Two photos of this ground cover type vine that sort of seems to climb. Leaves are larger and vines are thin but strong. This stuff is EVERYWHERE. Do I need a flame thrower?

Try LIKE THAT GARDEN app for plant identification. It has helped me a lot.

The first one might be English daisy - Bellis - Flowers would help with a positive ID. If so, it's OK, but my animals don't eat the leaves.
The second is ADYC - another damned yellow composit - probably hawkweed - Hieracium - edible
The third is the invasive Vinca major - it is toxic too. I would recommend eradication, but flame-throwers might be overkill. Concentrated RoundUp works well.

@Iochroma - Thank you!

I'll hold out on the the top two and see if we get flowers.
I'm not a huge fan of the Vinca in the yard so I'll start cutting it back until it's just covering the slope under the trees where the torts wont be allowed. It's nice as a ground cover since its in a really shady spot that I wouldn't expect anything else to grow in, but near the torts it will have to disappear.

How about this one? Seems the bugs are eating it.

"dock" - Rumex sp. - not toxic, but not eaten by my animals; it may also be very high in the undesirable oxalates.

The glossy spoon shaped plant has small < 1 inch daisy like flowers now


Also this is new (unless it's more Vinca):

English daisy is safe.
Vinca (either V minor, or V. major) should be considered toxic.
