| Mark, the weed you posted is called clearweed (Pilea pumila). It’s an annual weed that seeds prolifically if allowed to grow to reproductive age (happens in one season). You can mow it to limit reseeding in your lawn, or simply pull out individual plants. They are shallow-rooted and come out very easily, so even a large patch can be dealt with quickly. Some consider it a weed, some value it as a food source for caterpillars of several butterfly species. You can split the difference by pulling it where you don’t want it and leaving it where you want to promote caterpillar/butterfly populations. Here’s a useful link: Sent from my iPhone |
