They are not Frostweed, they look like they might be Obedient Plant.

Ok. I need to know what frostweed babies look like. These are coming up as well as an unknown woody sprout.. it seems to be getting bigger each year, and that is apt to get it cut down, but have no idea what it is. Gonna go look at obedient plant...these are all volunteers by the way. Was also a ragweed in here...

This is Elderberry, Sambucus canadensis, a very good shrub to have.

Really? Elderberry. Wow. Ok, will advise keeping it. It always have that bark with the 'moles' on it?

I will watch the other, dont think its obedient plant as I havent seen any in this area, but do want to be able to id a small frostweed when seen. Thanx
