Some of the more common grassy weeds include crabgrass, quackgrass, doveweed, dallisgrass, nutsedge, Poa annua (also known as annual bluegrass) goosegrass and so on. Grassy weeds are different from broadleaf weeds in both their appearance and their control methods.
Grassy weeds are true grasses or monocots. A grass seed germinates and emerges as one single leaf. It develops hollow, rounded stems and nodes (joints) that are closed and hard. The leaf blades alternate on each side of the stem, are much longer than they are wide and have parallel veins.
Lovage is a member of the Apiaceae, or Umbellifer family, and it tastes and looks a lot like celery. It`s sometimes called smellage or maggi plant.
A. Yes; the common name of this plant is “horse nettle“, but it looks like a spiny eggplant when young and a yellow cherry tomato when mature—which makes sense as it`s in the tomato/potato/eggplant family.
Foxtails grow in loose clumps or sometimes singly. Stems are erect or bent at the base, but overall ascend upward. Mature foxtails range in height from 1 to 3 feet (30–90 cm) and branch at the base. Leaf blades are 4 to 15 inches (10–37.5 cm) long, and most have a spiral twist.
1. Landscape fabric is also known as weed fabric, garden fabric, and landscape cloth. Landscape fabric is constructed from woven fibers or manufactured as a solid sheet with perforated holes to allow water to soak through.
Dandelion (taraxacum), known as blowball, milk witch, puff ball, or monk`s head, is a part of the asteraceae family of weeds. One of the world`s most common broadleaf weeds, dandelion features a yellow flower that turns into a ball of seeds.
Cleavers (Galium aparine), with its characteristic `sticky` seeds, is easily introduced to gardens from uncultivated land and can become a nuisance in beds and borders.

Grassy Weeds

They have hollow stems and spread vegetatively. Common grassy weeds in Florida include crabgrass, Alexander grass, torpedo grass, and common bermuda grass. With the exception of crabgrass, these other grassy weeds are uncontrollable. Round-up is generally the only way to remove them.
