What type of weed is this?

Question

Here's my description: They started out coming up, and looked sort of like clovers, only the leaves were aligned in rows along the weed. There's probably 6-10 leaves per each stem. They've grown rather quickly. They emerged about 3 weeks ago, and now the plants are about 8 inches high. They're covering about 90% of my property.

Not spurge. The stems are smaller and shorter and the leaves are a little more rounded.

Not oxalis either

All very good answers, and look similar to what we have, but not the right weed. I'll try to get some pictures this weekend to post.

Answer 1

Here are some Website references to help you identify your weed by different criteris. The second reference also has links which may be helpful. Without a picture and more information, it's probably not going to be possible to help you.

Answer 2

It might be creeping Charlie. It will have a pretty purple flower on it and have a very fragrant almost minty smell when cut. I attached a link to see what it looks like. There is really no way to get rid of it, aside from ripping up your whole yard and starting over :(

Answer 3

Is there any way you could post a picture? your description is good, but it's hard to tell from words alone.

Answer 4

spurge

Answer 5

could be creeping oxalis???
