I have a few patches of crabgrass, but nothing like the number of patches of what I showed in the picture. I hope to get a sample to our local Morton Arboreteum, and see if anyone there has any ideas. But, I'm not too hopeful as they are primarily interested in woody plants and trees, not grasses. |
