    Hello !

    Can you help me to identify those 4 weeds very present in my garden ?

    Each picture has a number so you can ID it by number.

    Thank you

    #6 looks like a nightshade of some sort: a Solanaceae. Closest in my area would be Solanum ptycanthum but I keep thinking it's a Physalis spp. Just can't find one that looks like yours. This would be a huge family of plants, including some common vegetables, and with a lot of cross breeding possible.

    Thank you to both of you !

    For Phytolacca, I would say Phytolacca americana.

    For #6, I would be surprised by Physalis because I didn't plant any seed and I don't think it's a common species in this area.

    Number 5 looks like Rumex crispus.

    For #6 I agree - Solanum ptycanthum. By the way, it is a poisonous plant.
