I can tell it's a nitrogen fixing legume, and they're pretty rowdy! Got a collection of them, I can cut them for fertilizer, unless they are going to be something more interesting. Any idea what they are?

I second alfalfa. I'm not really familiar with it, but something like that grew where I put some alfalfa seed Joseph Lofthouse sent me. (If that's not alfalfa, then it's a heck of a coincidence.)
