Hi there
I am not sure where burke is, but what geographical zone you are in makes a big difference to what those could be.
Where is Burke? Smile

My niece is an environmental educator at Patuxent Wldlife Refuge which is fairly near you. She is visiting me for the holiday and I showed your pictures to her. She said the first one looks like pokeweed and the second one is in the nettles family, probably horse nettles. It looks like pulling them out was the right thing to do.
