Sorry, best I can do with this cheapo camera.

The roots on these critters are approx 4" to the green above ground section.
Small, pointy leaves, and it seems these grow in clumps or send out runners.

It wasn't easy getting this out in one piece, only because we had an inch of
rain last night.

As for that shamrock, lots of them also but not where the weed is growing.
The weed takes over, no grass, no shamrock, not even dandelions.

Each spring I do 'pre-emergent' but that doesn't effect these guys.

If this stuff was 'smokeable', I'd be able to afford a better camera.

The vine sort of looks like speedwell.

Ya, really a lot like it. But speedwell should be dead now. It's been too
hot all over the country. Too bad there's no older leaves on the example
(to see if they're "toothed"), or flowers (to see if they're 4-petaled and
some shade of blue/violet).

Either way, I've always known speedwell to pop up in late winter, and be
dead and gone by the time it gets hot out. Maybe Jersey hasn't had the heat
wave until now?

We still have a form of speedwell growing here in the Buckeye and it
hardens off during the dog days of summer, sorta like spotted spurge does.
It's a boarder encroacher for the most part. (curbs and such)

Really! Ok, learned enough for one day. I need a nap, now. =)

I went and looked at a picture of speedwell,
http://altnature.com/Herbs2003/pages/speddwell5319.html

The weed in my lawn is not like that.
It's been 94+ for days, and this stuff hasn't suffered at all.
In fact, from spring through snow cover, this stuff always stays green and
hardy looking.
(that's why I'm sure it's a week, can't kill, hard to pull out of the
ground) LOL

No, the small narrow leaves are not 'toothed'. They have smooth.

And no flowers.

Apparantly, there's a flavor that's hardy in the summer.

Heh. Yup, that's a sure-fire sign. =)

The smaller leaves on speedwell are smooth, but check the oldest leaves
(nearest the roots).


And no flowers.

That's quite possible, if it's being mowed all of the time. You'd have to
find a specimen that was allowed to mature, perhaps behind something.
*shrug* In any case, a broadleaf killer should take it out, but as has been
pointed out, it's not really a good time weather-wise, to treat your lawn.
