Looks like Purslane from here. In my book, they aren't weeds,
they're salad greens. The oxalis is a biting little thing that
brightens up a salad - especially if you're Irish.

The purslane is good raw or cooked. When cooked it acts like okra and
adds that gooey texture.

Search for purslane recipe and you'll find hundreds of ways to eat
this one.

Some people in the government have been trying to
rid the country of that second weed for some time
but it keeps showing up like a bad penny. *snicker*

I definitely have that first one, because not 10 minutes ago I sprayed
some with Roundup.

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.

I've seen #2 before, but cannot name it. I should think that it would
also wilt under Scott Bonus S.

Plain household vinegar would kill either of them, but it also stresses
the grass. The grass will come back while the weed does not.
(Try to place the vinegar right on the leaves.)

You can also treat your lawn with corn meal - it inhibits broadleaf
germination.

But I agree with Jim. We're omnivores - if you want to get rid of
something, eat it.

No it isn't. It's not even the same genus.

Thank you. After a Google I know what herbicides are most likely to work
on them. Looks like the Oxalis (a.k.a. Wood Sorrel) might be the most
difficult of the two.

Hell, I just let the sorrel fill in the bare patches in my yard. It's a
hell of a lot nicer than chickweed, mile-a-minute vine, poke plants, or
this other weedy thing that I haven't identified yet... I figure if I
let it grow it'll choke out all the REALLY bad stuff.

I get something like the 2nd one in my backyard garden. Very easy to pull
up. Why use poisons?

Clover is very easy to just pull up too. If it's in your lawn just weed it,
let the yard take over. Just use common sense.

Instead of herbicides, use compost and feed your lawn so the weeds don't
have any place to grow.

In a third of an acre lawn, my back just isn't up to weeding it by hand as
I might do in a small garden. Also, some of the weeds that I have, among
them Wild Violet, pulling them up is all but impossible.

What I am doing to minimize chemical use is spraying with a two gallon
hand pump sprayer. That way I spray the weeds only, rather than the easier
way of using a garden hose attached broadcast sprayer to soak the whole
lawn.

Or smoke it. The police will come and pull it all up.

That is pretty much what is happening in my case. It is just my second
Summer in this house and it was previously a repo. So the lawn was well
neglected.

Last year it was overrun by dandelions and wild violets. I've put a dent
in the violets (Bayer Bush Killer Plus gets fair results on this hard to
kill weed), and I've 95% exterminated the dandelions. I did seed last
Fall, but the sorrel seems to be occupying the bare patches where the seed
didn't take.

If its green I let it grow. The healthier my lawn gets the less of
this kind of thing I have in it. Until I get a well established lawn
these weeds fill in the bare spots.

My vegetarian, semi-vegetarian, and lapsed vegetarian sisters all do
that. I always pack various antacids and other tummy potions when I
visit them- most of the strange-to-me veggies they serve me taste okay
going down, but some of them give me monster heartburn an hour later.
And yes, the salad bowl usually looks like the bottom of my wheelbarrow
after cleaning up the yard. I tend to agree with the rabbits- if the
leaf has pointy things and a sharp taste, eat something else if available.
