Re: Bad news regarding Bay State Fertilizer

Re: Is this a weed?

Thanks to bpgreen and flyin-lowe for their suggestions. I'll hit it again today. Never had heard of Queen Ann's Lace before, and this is the first year I've seen it in the lawn. Probably can thank my neighbors lawn service for dragging it in on their equipment,
