Lets play Name That Weed!

16 years ago

I have been trying to get my red Georgia Clay yard in order this year and had the soil tested at UGA. Surprise, I needed a bunch of lime. About 3 weeks ago, I put out the recommended amount of lime and watered it in a bit along with starting a set routine for watering the lawn.

Now I have a lot of green stuff in the once dead patches, but most of it is not grass yet. I know part of it is white clover, but am very unsure what the rest is.

What are these things?

The bottom two are common yellow oxalis (Oxalis stricta) and white clover (Trifolium repens). Not sure about the top one...have you observed a flower? Could be rabbit's foot clover, hops, maybe even vetch?

Not yet. It all (with the exception of the white clover) just appeared in the past couple of weeks.

Do you think a post-emergent would help at this point, or should I just cut my losses for this year and appreciate the fact that I have more than just dirt to cut?
