INTRODUCTION TO LAWN WEEDS: Naming your weeds

Good evening! Its been horribly rainy the last few days in the Sunshine State! We've been bored... We decided to start figuring out what some of our lawn weeds were called...
AND WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU FIGURE THEM OUT TOO!! :)
Here are some pictures and the common names of the weeds :)


MATCHWEED: Little white flowers with purple insides.

HAWKSBEARD: Tall yellow flowers

LARGE CRABGRASS: Grass that starts a central point and spreads outwards in all different directions.

FLEABANE: they look like wispy purple and white mini daisies.

SPINY SAWTHISTLE: **gloves when removing weed.. very spiky** but they have yellow flowers on the top

WHITEHEAD BROOM: long oval leaves with little white flowers.. get tall and inbetween plants!

PEPPERWEED: a stalk of white puffy flowers

PUSLEY: inbetween the leaves grows mini white flowers **not shown here**

GLOBE SEDGE: exactly like picture but the bottoms look like a lighter shade of grass.

VIRGINIA CREEPER: a vine 

DANDELION: starts off as a yellow flower... then opens up to those WONDERFUL *cough not cough* seeds that children like to make wishes on
PLANTAIN



THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF OUR WEEDS IN OUR YARD.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE WEEDS--- AND--- HOW YOU CAN GET RID OF THESES WEEDS!!
