Need Help IDing Two Plants
Yesterday, Gaby Schmitt was helping get the Celery Farm ready for the long-awaited reopening when she came across two unfamiliar plants that she believes to be invasives.
About the first one, top, Gaby writes: "At Green Way I've pulled quite a bunch of this new invasive. It pulls out easily but it also readily attaches seeds to clothes and gloves …a Velcro "lite" attachment that can be brushed/ picked off fairly easily. "
Below is the other, found by the streamlet, abut 5-6 feet tall.
Can anyone I.D. these?

It is awful. Goes everywhere and doesn’t stop easy to pull but not nice.

I believe the first one is possibly this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galium_aparine
(A naturalist friend of mine in Wales suggested that ID after I fell, landed in a bed of it, and got covered. 😀 ) It is not native, but it is naturalized here in the U.S.
