what is this crazy weed?!

we recently moved to a house from the city with our kids. we're using organic gardening methods (so not using chemicals or anything on the lawn) and it's understandably gone a little crazy!

I totally understand that there will always be weeds and the lawn won't be as pretty as other lawns but there are some crazy weeds popping up that I have no idea what to do with.

anyone know what this is?

Check out this link [url]https://www.ppws.vt.edu/scott/weed_id/ducin.htm[/url]. It sounds/looks like that's the one.

There are other weeds with similar leaves, but this is the only one that has a strawberry looking fruit, too, AFAIK. It won't smell like strawberry, though.

thank you so much, that looks like exactly what it is. for some reason, I used the word raspberry in my google searches but it definitely looks much more like a strawberry. it's not creeping yet, though!

now I just have to figure out what to do about it!
