Michael - did you pull these out?

It was hard to put out with roots in the cement cracks, but I did my best to destroy it. Note that they have become quite common along the nearby fire-trail. See sighting 4430878, Bidens pilosa (Cobbler's Pegs, Farmer's Friend)
I pulled up numerous ones along there in April 2022. I have pulled up more again this year, but surely would have missed some since I was doing it in the dark.

Thanks Michael - glad you don't let a simple thing like the lack of light to get in the way of your weeding
