I think that the Cutleaf/Evergreen Blackberry is not as tasty as the Himalayan.

Is it not crabgrass?
Possibly goose grass?
Pretty sure that’s erect dayflower
Definitely a day flower, they definitely do grow like crazy
The blue flower looks like Spiderwort/Tradescantia
Thank You. It may be some species of tall crabgrass. If so that’s actually OK and good for cow chow.
"Crabgrass is not as drought tolerant as other forage species and grows best when soil moisture is good. Cattle will graze crabgrass over fescue, bahiagrass, or bermudagrass in some situations. The productive season is from May to October, though most of the forage will be produced in late summer depending on weather. "

Thank You, I believe you are correct and still good as forage for cattle which is good for me.
Eleusine indica - common names are “Crabgrass, crowfoot grass, goose grass, indian goose grass, wire grass, yard grass”
Thank You, Spiderwart has 3 pedals, day flower has 2 pedals so I don’t think its spiderwort.

Any clue what this weed is? I was looking through pictures from last year and this is the only time I have ever seen it.
Sorry for the poor nighttime photos.
Large leaves (~12"-14"). Some fuzz on the leaves and petioles, but none on the stalk.
No branching of any sort on it, and grasshoppers chewed it up.
When I ran Google Lens on it the suggestion was “wax mallow”.

Looks pretty similar on the leaves, but the pictures online wax mallow has a fuzzy stalk while the one I have has no fuzz.
Did you look at other mallow species native to your area? The lack of fuzz could easily be a minor geographic difference and it’s the same species

I just ran the app on a different selection of those pictures and it gave two additional possibilities, Northern Catalpa (Catalpa speciosa) and Jatropha curcas. The branching habit of the stems of the leaves reminded me of a young purple paulonia, at least the species that grows in this geographic area.

I never even considered catalpa! I bet that’s what it was. We have catalpa less than a furlong from that spot so that is probably what it is, it matches the pictures to a ‘T’. I just don’t remember seeing any catalpa besides huge trees, probably why I didn’t consider it.

Yah, there’s an area nearby where there’s so many catalpa/catawba trees growing that there’s only a couple of rods but not even a full chain between them!
