Identified My Weed at This Site

10 years ago

Hi all-
This is a weed I was trying to identify. It's a sneaky bugger, apparently spreading by prolific seeding and underground as well. You pull what you think is one plant and you find out it has an extended family LOL. I've mowed and pulled but it's still threatening to take over my 3 acres....ugh.

Finally found out it was red sorrel by going to this site. Handy site for a quick weed search.

This is one way the sorrel spreads.

This is how it starts out. May or may not have an underground runner.

One slight positive is that it is edible. Aka Sheeps Sorrel.

My compliments to the lawn care company website you linked. They not only showed pictures of lawn pest insects but also of beneficial insects that could be in our lawns. Good for them! Thanks for sharing.
