Whatever it is, be sure to get ARC approval before removing it.

idk what exactly it is, but some kind of weed. we have them here, i pluck every 2weeks, & they come right back up. the roots are VERY long & woodlike above ground. i pulled one that was like a string of lights, with smaller ones attached. the landscaper sprayed & it seems to be controlled. personally, i think it came from under the privacy wall

Part of your St. Augustine grass; that’s normal. Don’t pull them out.

Those are the seeds of your grass. Not a weed. No problem.

That's what I was hoping the stems looked like the grass, but then I classify all plants as "green growing things", my talent is turning them into "brown dead things"

It is St. Augustine grass. Do yourself a favor and download the app “Picture This” to your phone. Basic version is free. You can take a picture of any plant and it will identify it. Very helpful.

That is a St Augustine stolon…. DO NOT REMOVE…and another tip you may need, Purchase Fertilizer for Southern Lawns… ( discard any Fertilizer you brought down from the North) Welcome to The Villages
