Winter annuals are thick this year!
The following are pictures taken this week in Hilliard, Ohio:
Chickweed
Henbit
Corn Speedwell
These winter annuals seem to be more prevalent in Ohio this spring. While these weeds generally don’t like warm weather, you may as well consider a herbicide that will control them. This will allow turf recovery this spring and eliminate unwanted service calls. These weeds seem to encroach areas in the lawns that are thin. Call your ATS rep to discuss the various options of effective herbicides. Keep in mind temperatures and dominant weed varieties in your area.
Have a great spring and hope for a favorable weather pattern from our friend, “Mother Nature”.
