Hi, 

We are having a difficult time narrowing it down. Could you send some additional photos of different angles? a photo of the entire plant so we can see the base and growing pattern. 

You can post them in a response.

Additional photos of the plants as they are in my garden. You'll have to flip them unfortunately.

Hi, 

These plants look like different plants to us compared to the first photo you sent. 

These look like they could be Horseweed which is native plant but common garden weed. They are really easy to pull and are shallow rooted. 

We are still not able to conclude an id on the first photo though.
