Can anyone please help me figure out what this is and what we can do to get rid of it? It's everywhere in our garden!

It looks like cow parsnip/wild parsnip type of plant. You just have to keep pulling it up and never let it flower and go to seed.

It will have a big tap root.
Get a big garden fork and loosen the earth around it to at least a foot. Then the whole thing should come out.

Hogweed. Strong weed killer is needed and even then it’ll take several applications.
Bastard stuff. Get on top of it ASAP!

Thanks for the info. I spent a long evening pulling it out but there's still a log way to go...
