Imprelis isn't cheap - $50 for 4.5oz (not sure what it mixes out to) & not widely available for retail purchase. Triclopyr works on violets, just slowly & probably repeated applications 2-3 weeks apart. It might work out to be of comparable cost to Imprelis in the long run. You can find it in Ortho Weed-B-Gon Oxalis, Chickweed & something else @ HomeDepot. Say $11.

We have have many rainey days here but lots of sunny ones also :-)) What I do is snap off the seed head part of the stalk on the daffs every few days and or cut (at the very top) off the dying spent flowers. In that mixed daff collection pictured wave after wave of flowers opens. As some finish, others start. So deadheading keeps the mixture looking good even now and they started weeks and weeks ago. In fact they started the very, very beginning of April. Here is how they look now with the last wave flowering and I have cut off all the spent blooms leaving the flower stalk. Here you can see the daylily folliage running in front of the tulips. It should make the tulip folliage much less noticable. Again, as soon as the tulips drop their flower pedals, I will snap off the very top of the stem which has the seed head. I just leave folliage, don't much worry about it. I find it's gone on it's own soon enough and there is always something else going on in the garden to look at. In the two belgium block mini terraces running accross which is were the daffs are, I plan to plant zinnias for summer long color. I will use seedlings and just plant them between the daffodil folliage. I am sure there will be some lang time there between when the daff flowers are all gone and I get my zinnia seedlings in. I haven't even startted the seeds yet as it has been too cold. But I have been growing zinnias in that front section for the past two years. This was before I put in the belgium block mini terraces late last summer. That then allowed me to plant the area in bulbs last fall as planned.

They are super cute and pretty funny. They will lay in the shade of the pots on my porch and sprawl out on their stomach, all limbs sticking out. Hilarious. I have read that they can be pretty bad pests but our yard isn't really a yard, it is a prairie and we live in a townhome so we have like, a few random trees and some flowers next to the porch and that's it. My only annoyance is they like to kick up the mulch everywhere.

If you already have St Augustine then you can recover it this season. The secret is to allow the grass to get up to 6 inches before mowing it back to 4 inches (mower's highest setting). The other secret is to ensure it gets water only infrequently but deeply every time. If you get an inch of rain, then you don't need to water. Watering frequency depends on temperature, soil, grass type, shade, cloud cover, etc. Generally this time of year it should be once a month. In the heat of summer it should be once a week. Water a full inch when you water. Measure that with a cat food or tuna can. If you are fertilizing with chemicals, then wait until the grass is growing and you have mowed it twice. If you are fertilizing with organics, you can start now and do it again in April.
