This particular weed does resemble grass, but it’s actually YellowNutsedge.  Now is the time of year it really starts to grow like crazy.

Crabgrass and other annual weeds will be germinating soon in Boise, Meridian, Eagle and surrounding areas. These unsightly weeds grow from seeds in the spring. These seeds can germinate once soil temperatures reach the mid 50’s at a depth of 2-3 inches. 

Dandelions are perennial weeds that spread very quickly from hundreds of its seeds and also from the roots. They are found in lawns and shrub beds throughout the Treasure Valley.

If a lawn currently has an existing Dandelion weed in it, then it will only grow and spread more rapidly each day the temperature is over 60 degrees.
