We didn't move into our house until three weeks after closing. Not surprisingly, the spring weather caused a lot of weed growth in those three weeks. It didn't help that our sprinkler system was running regularly during that time (our grass thanks us).
This weed looks bad, but isn't hard to deal with. The root system goes straight down into the ground so a quick tug will remove the entire weed.

These weeds are ferocious (click pic above). They can quickly grow to about knee high. They're not a problem if you pull them when they're small,but when they grow big, the stalk hardens. After it hardens, the weed will break off at the stalk if you pull at it. The only way to remove it is to dig it up with a hand shovel. Unfortunately, the root system goes deep and spreads out. Even after digging up what seems like roots, it may not get rid of the weed.
Some people call it a wildflower. I call it a weed.
Check back on the next post to see the results of hard work.
