1. wild grape vine
2. some kind of grass
3 ?
4. wild geranium
5. bindweed, which is wild morning glory, which is why the flowers are basically the same; a nasty aggressive weed!
6.
7. the fuzzy leafed one is common mullein
8. plantain Keep some of it around. If you get bee stings or mosquito bites, chew some of it up until it is broken down a little and juicy and put it on the sting/bite. It's a miracle cure!
9
10. more wild geranium
12. if those leaves are really tough but can be split into fibers, I think it is yucca. Not particularly tropical, we have a yucca variety Yucca filamentosa/ Adam's needle which is native here in Ohio.
13. The tall weed may actually not be a weed. I almost know what it is, probably something in the aster family... coneflower, sunflower, etc. Anyway leave it and you will know what it is once it flowers.

Mostly a nice collection of weeds, but some interesting ones! I dug up a mullein by the side of the road and brought it home, because I think it is cool. It gets 6' tall or so, with a big flower spike at the top.

If 5 has small white flowers, you're screwed. I had these in my garden and they tethered themselves to my plants and I couldn't get rid of them. They took over. Though the flowers are really pretty. It's called bindweed and is a part of the morning glory family. Bindweed is considered one of the most problematic weeds in agricultural fields throughout temperate regions worldwide. It is abundant throughout California and grows up to an elevation of about 5000 feet (1500 m). Field bindweed is troublesome in many crops, but particularly difficult in potatoes, beans, and cereals. It can harbor the viruses that cause potato X disease, tomato spotted wilt, and vaccinium false bottom.

I'll only comment on the plant you are calling bindweed. If the flower looks like a small morning glory, then it's probably bindweed. If multiple small flowers grow on a stalk, it could be wild buckwheat.
