A Weeding Challenge

We have been reasonably successful in minimizing weeds on the property. 

Burdock has been kept at bay by deadheading the flowers/burrs before they go to seed. Since it is a biannual, the amount of burdock is considerably less than when we started with this procedure in 2016. 

Motherwort has been minimized over the last couple of years by handpulling it before it goes to seed. So far, so good.

BUT this one is a different story. Can anyone tell me the name?

A Weeding Challenge

In the areas where we were able to handpull it this spring, none of it has grown back. However, in spots that we overlooked or were distracted by higher priority tasks, it has flourished and has now gone to seed. We pulled quite a bit on Wednesday but, as you can see above, the burrs are very aggressive. We may have to abandon these areas until next spring. I will try this once more using rubber kitchen gloves. Perhaps the burrs will not stick as readily.

Perhaps rubber gloves will work better?
