Weed #1

Weed #1 is clover. Even without a name, almost any generic weed killer
will kill it. Scott Bonus S will take it out and encourage your grass.

Definitely not clover, even though it has a clover shaped leaf. Correctly
identified as Oxalis / Wood Sorrel by Jim Elbrecht in this thread.

This is oxalis (AKA wood sorrel), most certainly. Edible, tart-flavored.
Persistant.

This is not purslane, it's chickweed.

It's a fall/winter sprouting weed, so spring pre-emergent herbicides are
not going to control it.

Mea Culpa-- A second look and I retract my mis-identification as
purslane. Too bad-- Chickweed is also an edible weed- but I'd
much prefer purslane.

Probably doesn't need saying- but just in case. Make a choice of
nibbling or poisoning. Don't eat the plants if you're using an
herbicide.

Thanks for that. The Chickweed pictures that google brings up do match
perfectly.

Reminds me of that old saying: "There are bold mushroom hunters, and there
are old mushroom hunters. But there are no old, bold, mushroom hunters."
