I get weeds in my rock garden that have red stems and green leaves that are
sometimes partially red, and they get tiny white dot flowers on them
eventually. I keep pulling them and they come back like there is an endless
supply of these things in the ground.
Was wondering if a better approach would be to let them grow for a couple of
weeks and then spray them all with Roundup. I could pull 50 weeds a day for
the rest of my life at this rate the way they grow.

Spray them with RoundUp as soon as they're showing leaves. The longer you
let them grow, the stronger the root system gets, so the faster they'll
come back.
