I wasn't able plant my garden this year but with the help of my children I have a lovely garden!!! I came across these plants in a couple of spots and I don't recognize them. I have a few surprise flowers they planted but does anyone know what this is? do I nurture or pull?

i'm thinking something related to the morning glory. i know we have something that looks similar to those leaves but it gets a small white flower on them and a massive root that loves to travel and take over. the vines also try to strangle everything it comes across.

the only other thing i was thinking about is could it be some sort of bean?

I thought it looked like the wild violets that pop up everywhere around here.
Oh, that might be it! they have a root/corm that looks a little like a swollen kernal of corn.

The leaves are too shiny for violets. however one of the plants took off and started to vine out and I have chosen to remove it!
Thanks everyone for the help any thing that takes over and doesn't produce is outta here
