It looks somewhat like milkweed to me, but it's hard for me to ID a plant without seeing the flowers, as well as the leaves.

nope not milkweed..it has small white flowers that come in small round clusters..not attractive..the feeling is very coarse and the stems are quite tough, although it pulls fairly easy..

we have a big problem with this weed here..it is everywhere..

found out it is hoary alyssum
