No pictures available.

Have some kind of foliage that is very similar to St. Augustine.
However,
it grows much taller/quicker. Its seems to be a grass type. Blades of

it
are sectionalized into 3 sections, vice 2 for St. Augustine. Grows

about
twice the rate for the blades/leaves, but, does not seem to spread
the
same
way. Is localized, not prolific. Color is virtually idential to St.
Augustine.

What is it?
How do I get rid of it?

Dallisgrass? If it is, you pull it up by hand.

Not it, but found this interesting if you have cattle.

The foliage in question is almost identical to St. Augustine blade-wise.
Before I cut one area around a water faucet, was over a foot long.
Extremely little drooping, no wavy feature as I saw in many pictures of
dallisgrass. No seeding features, just blades. Doesn't appear in clumps
like pictured in Dallisgrass. I do have some Dallisgrass around here,

along
with buffalo grass. Both are clumpers. This breed doesn't appear to be

so.

Cue me in how to upload pictures, and what websites support that? Would
like to provide weblink to pictures for your gander.

I'll just cut and paste Omelet's excellent advice: [clicking the news:
link should open up the group in OE]

news:alt.binaries.pictures.gardens

If you want to post them here, post them at http://www.tinypic.com
harvest the URL's and post those links here.



Thanks.

I generally stay away from binaries for 2 reasons. Potential infection
problem, and I only have dial-up.

Thanks for the weblink. I'll go out and take some pics for more descriptive
info. Will repost, as I cut the front lawn very recently. Will let the
stuff grow back so its easily visible.
