Common Chickweed is a Winter annual that tends to be mat-forming when
mature. The leaves are opposite with no hairs and tend to be oval in shape.
A vertical line of hairs can often be observed along stems. Flowers are white
and are in small clusters at the end of stems.

Dandelion is a hardy perennial with a thick, fleshy taproot and no stem.
Leaves grow in a rosette from the crown. They are long, narrow, irregularly
lobed, and lance shaped. The lobed tips are often opposite each other and
pointing toward the crown. Leaves are often purple at the base and emit a
milky latex when broken. The deep golden yellow flowers are borne in heads
on long hollow stalks. Blossoms soon mature into spherical clusters of whitish
fruits, like white puffballs, composed of parachute-like seeds. The seeds are
carried by the wind.

Ground Ivy is a perennial with creeping stems which root at the nodes. It
forms dense patches and thrives in the sun and shade. The leaves are
round, scalloped along the margin, heavily veined and rough on the upper
surface. Leaves are borne opposite of each other on square-shaped stems.
Funnel-shaped blue to violet flowers are found in clusters in leaf axils and
occur in the spring.

Henbit is a very common winter annual that emerges in late summer or
very early fall which is earlier than most winter annuals. This weed has
small square stems and the flowers are reddish purple. Henbit branches
freely from the base and has a slightly spreading growth habit.

Wild Garlic is a perennial plant that grows through the cool part of the year.
It is one of the first winter weeds to emerge. This weed has an odor of garlic
which develops from a basal bulb covered by a membranous coat. At
maturity the bulb is covered with small yellowish bulbs, flattened on one
side, which readily split apart. Leaves are hollow and round. The greenish
pink to purplish flowers are borne in clusters at the stem tip and are often
mixed among small greenish aerial bulbs. Wild Garlic is often mistaken for
wild onion, which does not have hollow stems.

Dallisgrass is a clump-type perennial that has short thick rhizomes. The
ligule is membranous and usually has a sharp tip. A few long hairs can
usually be found in the collar region. Dallisgrass also has a characteristic
prominent mid-rib. This difficult to control perennial grass is very drought
tolerant and is therefore more problematic in dry soils.

Nutsedge is an aggressive perennial and has one of the most prolific
growth rates of any weed in the world. The tubers are dark colored, form
in chains along rhizomes, are bitter to the taste and start to form in spring
and proceed throughout the summer. The leaf tips are more blunt than
yellow nutsedge. The seedhead is purple or dark red in appearance. It is
one of the most difficult turfgrass weeds to control.

Annual bluegrass is a light green bunch-type to slightly spreading winter
annual weedy grass. Some subspecies exist which are classified as
short-lived perennials (Poa annua ssp. reptans). These perennial types are
particularly evident in bentgrass golf greens.

Crabgrass is tufted or prostrate summer annual with smooth leaves on
both surfaces. A few hairs at the collar region. Smooth Crabgrass has a
smooth leaf sheath that distinguishes it from Large Crabgrass, which has a
hairy sheath.

Sandbur is a summer annual that has the characteristic seeds that are
burs or spurs on a seeding stalk. Sandbur often has a reddish color at the
base of the plant, particularly when in the seedling stage. As the name
implies, sandbur is often found on sandy soils. Burs can be painful when
touched.
