What is this coming up next to my Chrysanthemums?

I have something coming up where the mums are, I don't know if it what I want or not, I took a picture and maybe you kind folks could tell me if something in the picture is what I think it is.

Chickweed and common wood sorrel. Chickweed is the bigger plant with the slightly fuzzy leaves and the wood sorrel is the clover like plant. It looks like you have 2 types of chickweed, both the fuzzy and smooth leaved kind.

Good job, Butterfly Lady! I looked at it and was going to say "it's just weeds," but I decided to stay out of it and see if someone came along with a better answer and you did!

Chickweed is edible. Doesn't taste real great but it's edible. Right now I'm pulling it by the handfuls to feed to the rabbits. They enjoy eating it more than I do.
