CAPE Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 This wild violet crap has taken over in the last couple years, and it is pervasive and nearly impossible to get rid of. Only good thing about it is butterflies seem to love it. I see so many Monarchs lately. Just like every other weed, I learn to love it since trying to keep any grass growing here is futile. Moss and various weeds, a bit of grass and clover. Such a variety! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted Friday at 01:05 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 01:05 PM Going to get some grass seed down on the bare spots tomorrow before the rain. Of course the weeds are prolific as always filling those in… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t have any trees of heaven on your property? Those things love TOH (I think they might be part of their natural habitat). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I squeezd in a buzz cut for my yard this evening just before dark and will hopefully be able to get some seed down tomorrow morning. Did you just go with one of the big bags of fescue blend from home depot/Lowe's? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put tall fescue on all of my lawn and a shade mix under the trees. It’s all stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
