any ideas what they are an what to kill them with safely?
Where are you located? Weeds vary from one locale to another. Your English sounds American, probably U.S. and not Canadian, but even so there are lots of regional weeds with similar leaves, esp. when looking at Weed #2.
And, of course, you could be living outside North America....

I'm thinking your second weed is pokeweed. Phytolacca americana. With the neglected nature of the ground you purchased, those tap roots could be pretty old. Superficial treatment and occasional mowing is not going to kill it. Small, new roots can be pulled out, with gloves. Larger roots may need to be dug. If you have any country folk that you know living nearby, they can confirm it it's pokeweed. Untended, they could have gotten five or six feet high easily last summer with racemes of inky berries on red stems.

And I think your first one is the circumboreal weed mugwort, or [url=https://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=ARVU]Artemisia vulgaris[/url].
You kill everything, especially with poisons that damage soil biologies, you get the bad guys back first... These two are weeds to us but high use wildlife plants to birds and such.
