lawn weeds?

[dethman]

I was pulling these out of my lawn as they are rather unsightly. are they weeds? or are they just the flowers from the grass? thanks. know little about lawns.

 

[OCGuy]

Wow, did you really have to kill it just to take the picture?

Monster.

 

[lxskllr]

I think it's crabgrass seeds, but I don't know. I don't care what grows in my yard as long as it keeps ground from eroding. Monocultures are bad.

Me? I've got everything growing in my yard. When something flowers, I mow around it until it's done blooming. The exception is dandelions. There's too many of those to worry about mowing around them. Same with buttercups. I have a patch below the locusts I leave alone though. I also have star of Bethlehem, flea bane, violets, and a few others I don't know the names of,. The queen Anne's lace will come up later in the summer, and I get some taller yellow flowers too, as well as various kinds of green things that are soft under foot, especially under the trees in the back yard.

 

[dethman]

hmm. so crabgrass? or regular grass that's flowering?

Most lawns grass doesn't make it to seed (cut regularly) or isn't a seeding type of grass.

Looks like crabgrass, kill that shit if it's in your lawn.

 

[DaTT]

It's grass seed. If you let your lawn grow long enough, it will over seed itself. Looks like shit for a while but it's better than anything you buy. I do this once a year.

 

[Eug]

Looks like crabgrass that is seeding.

 

[Thebobo]

lawns are an evil curse!

 

[T9D]

I've been killing all my lawns. No more mowing every week, no more terrible chemicals, no more water wasting. Lawns have their place but should be used as little as possible I think. Everybody just does a lawn by default these days. Or because it's already there. Most the time they don't even look good. But what a waste. A well done yard with no lawn can be so much nicer, cost less time and money and no chemicals. It's so much more relaxing to not worry about it.

Oh yeah that looks like grab grass ;p

This.

Crabgrass will have multiple blades coming from one stalk. The leaves are wider and are dull with no sheen.

We Xeroscaped the front yard long ago, I don't like watering and mowing.

Has made life a lot easier, though putting the screen under then mulch after tearing the old St Auguestine grass out and setting it up was a one time PITA, especially with a code guy trying to bust our butt on a weekly basis who we were on his flight path driving home.

We did it by code, and off their website recommendations.

I should have went after him for doing that, but I'm not that vindictive.

was reading about this some days ago

what about low maitenence grasses?

 

[highland145]

Mongrel, that looks good. Maybe this year, we're going to overhaul ours.

I'd have gone after him but I'm an asshole. The hysterical commission loves me.

You need at least 50% ground cover as far as plants here technically, I'm not sure if putting low maintenance grass would cover that, or it would take a lot of them.

I'd rather have larger plants myself and landscape a little.

Especially as we had a few large ones up there established anyways.

 

[rh71]

Whatever that is, it's better than onion grass. But at least they disappear for the year after only a few weeks.

 

[Red Squirrel]

That's just a long piece of grass, odd it would have already grown that high at this time of year though. In summer, when I don't mow my lawn twice a week it will start to look like that. It's a sign that it's getting VERY long.
