The first one I found in my yard and decided to replant it in my shade garden as a ground cover. I have no idea what it is though.

The second one just popped up under the hosta. It had an orange flower on it yesterday but something must have eaten it.

The third and forth ones are two different vines that popped up so I decided to train them up the porch. I thought they might get flowers but no such luck.

The last one is probably bind weed.

The first one maybe is a sedum of some sort - I can't tell how fleshy the leaves are. If it's the same, my mom has it all over her rock bank, but I don't know the name. It gets little yellow flowers on it. It might do better in a dry, sunny spot.

The second one seems to be a cantaloupe, have you dropped any seeds around? A bird might have picked one up and put it there. We tossed the innards of a cantaloupe near the compost so the birds could eat the seeds, and now I have a whole mountain of little plants that look just like that one.

Third one - no idea

Fourth one I agree with bindweed. Pretty white morning glory type flowers but very strong and invasive.

If the third one is a vine, it looks like wisteria.

If the third picture is Wisteria, you may not want it growing up your porch pillar. It becomes very large and heavy and could do damage. Most people grow Wisteria on very sturdy pergolas or trellis'.
