I have a pic of a lawn weed i am having problems getting rid of. It is
popping up in different spots each year, and weed killer does not do
anything.




Looks like field violet. Selective herbicides won't do the job, as you have
already discovered. You can either start digging or try dabbing pure,
undiluted roundup on the leaves with a Q-tip. I have to confess that I
haven't actually tried the roundup on this weed, but suspect it will work.
Perhaps someone else in this group has tried it.
