Please don't tell me this is a weed
Hi friends, I need your help again telling me what the heck is growing in my yard. This grass began to overtake my other grass and I let it go thinking it was Saint Augustine and now I'm being told it's a weed. Help me identify this. Thank you again

No idea what it is, but if it's green and thick I'd let it replace the St Augustine. Probably save you a fortune in green-up and irrigation. Run it by ARC first.

it looks like thick crab grass.. no weed killer that I know of to kill it without killing your st augustine... if it's crab grass waith til winter months when it dies off and then pull it out and put in sod or plugs

We all spend to much time and effort worrying about grass.
My suggestion is take a sample to the county extension office on 466 for an opinion. |

Looks like Bermuda grass to me. I say just let it grow and mow as needed. Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia, and that 4th one that I can't remember the name of. It's all just weeds, because real grass doesn't grow in Central Florida without TONS of maintenance.
Your lawn is replacing expensive garbage with less expensive garbage. Just embrace it. |

Doveweed. Baking soda will kill it.

It's not Asian Jasmine - that's a lot less grass-like, but does make excellent low-maintenance ground cover

Doveeeed it is!
Unfortunately doveweed is correct. Went to YouTube found some extension agents to talk about it explain exactly how it works in the wet ground and the little flowers I see from time to time that's exactly what it is.
thank you all I think Marty |

Doveweed. It's bad this year.
Atrazine will kill it. Will die off when it gets cold. Use a pre-emergent like Prodiamine before the soil temps reach 50-55 deg. (around Feb.) |
