I have noticed a new weed here in the last couple years. I have two spots among my flower beds where they are growing like crazy. In the past I just pulled them and that was it. Yesterday I happened to be digging out some quack grass rhizomes, and noticed that these things have runners or rhizomes like quack grass. Now I know why they weren't stopped by any pre-emergent herbicide. I have never seen a bloom on them or flower of any kind. Here are some pictures of them. Anyone know what they are called? I spent several hours digging out every bit of root that I could find yesterday.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
