the other is a weed that looks a little like a christmas tree, thin, stick like leaves and if you try to pull it up it will break into sections... any ideas?

The tortoisetable site says......
Horsetail
Highly diuretic, and also contains a substance that can destroy vitamin B so it is best to avoid feeding this plant.
