    Can’t remember the name but definitely a weed

    Looks like some type of dock

    Looks like the invasive broadleaf dock ***Rumex obtusifolius***. The leaves can be used, in moderation, in salads but overconsumption should be avoided because they contain oxalic acid.

    Sorrel…it reminds me of sorrel…Rumex acetosa…if it is another Rumex than cook it decently, blanch it.

    Dock.
    Those things root in very well.

    Rip it out!

    They have thousands of seeds if you let it go. Most grazing animals won’t eat much of it.

    If you have stinging nettle in your area, dock is your treatment for rash

  8. The iphone is pretty good at identifying plants now. Not perfect but if you get a clear shot of the leaf it might lead you in the right direction if you’re not satisfied with the answers here. Good luck.
