Very true. The problem weed of my area is henbit. It sprouts in the
fall, winters over, goes wild in the spring, dies early summer, then
repeats in the fall. If you want to control it, October is the best
time with pre-emergence or weed killer just after it sprouts.
Those who think fall applications are unnecessary are not thinking
beyond their own yard. A very common mistake in this forum.
