Notes:
Any idea what plant(weed)this is? It is taking over my backyard and I want to eradicate it. I am looking online but closet thing I can find is pokeweed. Don’t think that is it though. This grows low to ground in large spiral-like bunches. Grows large but not really tall. When I cut them they were about 2 feet tall and had been growing for over a month or so but wide growth and very thick.

Thanks for all of the responses! Yes,Jenny Aaron, it does grown on the ground and seems to grow out more than up. I am going to do some research into Purslane. It is getting worse and I need to do something about it. I will post back if i find out any more info. Thanks again all!

Don’t know for sure, but in Ky. it could be known as “Purslane.”[Does it grow kind of on the ground?
