WILD WEEDS... what is it?

[BubbaSam]

Hello to all...

i am fairly new to the forum. Mostly reading to date. I was not sure if I should post my message on this but am taking a chance that I might just receive some help.

I have about a 2.5 acre lawn here in North Central MA. This year we've gotten a LOT of rain. The grass is nice with a mixture of different types. However, this year my lawn is being overtaken by something... I have NO idea what it is nor where the heck it came from. I was wondering if anyone knew what it was or where I could find out how or what to use to get rid of it. Never noticed it before but there is a LOT of it.

THANKS TO ANY AND ALL who may be able to offer some advice/help with this issue.

Looks like a variety of pig weed. I second Mechanic Mark’s suggestion, or contact the UMass extension office nearest to you.

I live in SW Louisiana, I moved a few years ago about 50 miles west of where I was raised, that was in the flower bed and I caught the stem to remove it, if that is what you have and looks like it, it makes a very small sticker on it, when you get it stuck in your fingers, you will think you got bit by a spider, burn and burn for some time, the little prick is in the skin and cannot get it out, they call them burning weed here, I had never seen them before, Weed-Be-Gone will wipe them out and won't hurt the other grass, it only kills broad leaf plants, hope this helps, I hate weeds in the yard, Joe
