Can you identify plants in the 1st, 4th and 5th pictures? Trying to figure out if they are weeds.

Picture #1, the pods are radish seed pods. Picture # 4 looks like pigweed (with the tassel like bloom on top) and the plants at the top of the picture looks like black nightshade. I just pulled up a bunch of those today. Wear gloves, they are toxic, if I pull with my bare hands, I get a reaction to them. They are at the bloom stage, which will be followed by the green berry stage then the berry turns black, it is VERY toxic. The stem is a dark green. Put in trash, you don't want this hanging around. It will be back, keep pulling them up. Pigweed will come back forever, especially if it goes to seed. They have long roots. Lucky you!

Picture #5 the top plants are more black nightshade, the plants on the bottom, IDK. Look up black nightshade to compare the pictures to what you have, to be sure.

Welcome to TEG. Glad that you hopped over here, this is a great place with the nicest people. Thread high jacking, not only is practiced here, but welcomed! LOL LOL Good to see you.

Welcome Beth! Sorry I can't help you. Your weeds don't look like mine. Envious of all that gardening space. Tell us more about yourself and your garden.

"I don't use any pesticides." Ha, ha!! I used to say that, TOO, but if you can do it without them, more power to you. I hand weed, mow, use a reciprocating saw, use D-2, plastic AND cardboard. 2019 is my "one and done" year. I have 1 acre not in pasture and I have burdock to kill in the 4 acres of horse's pasture. I burn every weed that has gone to seed. Makes nice ash to put to to smother even MORE weeds.
Man, I am in a really murderous mood today!!!
Sorry for the rant. Just ignore me, now.
