Weed IDs Please?

16 years ago

Can anyone help with some more weed ids please? I was able to identify most of the weeds I found with some research and a trip to the Master Gardener, but these I haven't had any luck with. These were taken March 14 & March 15.

PICTURE 1 (please excuse & ignore the dead leaves)

PICTURE 2 (this type has underground runners to additional plants. We have these by the dozens in the lawn. It looks like miniature, extra green monkey grass)

PICTURE 3

PICTURE 4

PICTURE 5 (looks ilke dead nettle and ground ivy had a baby)

Thanks for any help. Laura

Try a book on herbs and the pinch test. One may be oragano, three and four look like different types of thyme.

Do remember as several others have stated a weed is a plant that you do not want where it is. However it appears you have lots of trade material for what you do want.
