Hi, does anyone have any tips for removing these weeds/flowers? They’ve popped up in my yard this fall, and I’ve pulled them the best I could, but they just keep coming back. They’re also in all my neighbors yards.

They’re a huge pain in the butt. I spent a Saturday pulling them all, and they just keep coming back. The grass under them is completely dead too.

Well, at least you have a lucky four leaf clover right in the middle of the upper right triangle.

Been watering a bunch? Looks like dollar weed to me.
St. Augustine?

I had never seen those before this drought. Now there are entire fields of them at Buhlow park. Bees love them.

Yeah me neither. Bees really do, there were probably about 4-5 of them flying around when I pulling the other day.

Looks to be salt marsh aster. Grows pretty low to the ground
All in my ditch right now and the bees and moths are tearing them up

I would just wait a couple weeks til they stop flowering and mow them down.

Roadside Aster. Control with pre-emergent and common herbicides

There was a thread on the H&G board last week on this week, I think.

You have a couple of different plants in that picture.

White clover is the obvious one.
Aster (as others have pointed out)
The third one looks like Dichondra, common name pony's foot.

Yeah I can see that. Someone recommended Avenue South. I might try that.
