Last year, we suffered such an invasion of crabgrass that we found ourselves singing, "If it weren't for crabgrass, we'd have no grass at all... gloom, despair and agony on me."
This spring we paid a professional lawn man what we considered to be a significant amount of money to "treat for crabgrass."
I just came in, hot, sweaty, bent and bowed, from my second day's session pulling crabgrass.
Perhaps the crabgrass got its "treat."

Later today I plan to mow the weeds that have replaced the grass in my front yard. At least it looks like you still have some grass.
Well, it IS green, right? We always treat for that in March, I believe. You have to nip that stuff early in the season. At least you don't have to water it. :)
It's too bad decision-makers didn't declare crabgrass the "in" grass to have in yards. Think how easy growing a lawn would be.
What's wrong with crab grass - it's green, it's grass - what's the problem?
And this is why I live in a condo.
Jim, we do have some grass-- two kinds: brown and crab.
Lin, yes, it is green, but not what I had hoped for.
Vee, that would make it too easy.
Grace, can't argue with your logic. Just a preference, I guess, logical or not.
Ilene, to each her own. Do your neighbors all have their thumpin' stereos off before two ay-em?
If I take my glasses off when I'm out in the yard, it looks much nicer.
John, I like your approach to yard work!
Yep! Thanks to me, the music noise has died out. Complaints about someone making loud music in our building stopped when I moved in. Funny thing, no one thought it was the former owner, because he was the president of the condo association and was fielding the calls. No joke!
Ilene, that's too funny. Complain about me? Give me a call, and I'll see what I can do!
