This is the bain of most with a Spring lawn. I used to battle it when I was foolish enough to travel that path.
Now I welcome it. My neighbors are aghast to see it growing freely at my place, but I see it as a beautiful, green, Spring ground cover. It looks great (to me) and requires no upkeep. Who would not like this?
A weed is actually defined as a plant in the wrong place. In my yard, it is not a weed. I don't have a lawn or even a lawnmower. I like lawns and admire those of people in my area. After 30 years of that, prefer "natural" these days.
The funny thing is this year it took over the island in my pond. It is thick and lush. The overflow growing into to the water is chomped on by my Koi. My Turtles are over their Winter sleep and also like it. (older turtles love salad).
It will die out as heat arrives. It is a cool weather crop. It will return next Spring with no help from me. That is a plant to love.
