I have a weed growing in all my flower beds.?

It grows like a vine & has pods on it. They start out green but later turn brown. When I pull them up I know they scatter seeds. What kind of weed is this & how can I get rid of it. It is taking over everywhere.

    It is almost impossible to identify the vine without a better description. A vine can be hard to get rid of, but if you want to try pulling, do so before the pods form or at least before they ripen. Also get down as far into the root system as possible. If you are willing to go to chemical warfare you could try Roundup. Do not spray unless you can shield your flowers, it will kill everything! If you have the time and the patience, try putting on a rubber glove and then a cotton work glove, soak the cotton fingers in Roundup and the rub it on the vines and especially the leaves. If this doesn't work, try putting small amount in little jars or disposable plastic tubs and pin the tips of the vines into the Roundup. It will draw the herbicide into the roots and kill the vines.

    Egwa is correct. To kill it quicker, paint undiluted Roundup on the weed.
