Sorry, best I can do with this cheapo camera.
Hope this works.

The roots on these critters are approx 4" to the green above ground section.
Small, pointy leaves, and it seems these grow in clumps or send out runners.

It wasn't easy getting this out in one piece, only because we had an inch of
rain last night.

As for that shamrock, lots of them also but not where the weed is growing.
The weed takes over, no grass, no shamrock, not even dandelions (Taraxacum G.H. Weber ex Wiggers)

Each spring I do 'pre-emergent' but that doesn't effect these guys.

If this stuff was 'smokeable', I'd be able to afford a better camera.

The vine sort of looks like speedwell.

Ya, really a lot like it. But speedwell should be dead now. It's been too
hot all over the country. Too bad there's no older leaves on the example
(to see if they're "toothed"), or flowers (to see if they're 4-petaled and
some shade of blue/violet).

Either way, I've always known speedwell to pop up in late winter, and be
dead and gone by the time it gets hot out. Maybe Jersey hasn't had the heat
wave until now?

We still have a form of speedwell growing here in the Buckeye and it
hardens off during the dog days of summer, sorta like spotted spurge does.
It's a boarder encroacher for the most part. (curbs and such)

Really! Ok, learned enough for one day. I need a nap, now. =)
