Can you take a close-up digital pic and post it on a website
somewhere, or borrow a digicam from someone if you don't have one?

I wonder if you have a thing my Dad calls yellow clover (among other
things!) and which I believe is black medick. If you look closely does
it look like a tiny scaled-down clover?
I think some of the verdone weedkillers will get rid of it if it's
black medick.
