it's so invasive. It grows through every crack in the sidewalk. I pull it but it comes back stronger. it has little white flowers sometimes. Very fragrant when pulled.

    Almost looks like sweet potatoes. There’s a lot of things it could be I’m bad at this

    What’s your location, OP? 🙂

    I think this is a morning glory vine…?

    Looks a lot like fish mint, *Houttuynia cordata.* It spreads very readily. Crush some and see if it smells fishy.

    Fish mint, as others said. Bane of my existence. You can’t kill the shit, and it won’t stop spreading. I hate the previous owner for planting it.

    This is my #1.

    I hate it so, so much. As others have said, Houttuynia cordata.

    Rigorous, repeated glyphosate application with an attention to detail might get rid of it in a couple of years.

    Godspeed

    This shit was planted in my yard 50 years ago and I’ve spent the last 6 years digging it out by hand every spring. It’s fuckin awful.
