Weed ID help

[kentster]

I'm trying to figure out this weed and any help is welcome... I seems to have recently popped up everywhere or maybe I just noticed it. Nonetheless it is thriving. I'm guessing oxalis or chickweed, so I sprayed with Triclopyr today and plan to hit it again in 2 weeks.

Compare it to some members of the Speedwell family and see if you find a match.

Looks like a match... thanks Andy!

Triclopyr seems to be the solution. I applied today using Ortho CCO RTS (8% Triclopyr @ 5 oz per 2 gallons in a backpack sprayer) and spot sprayed. I plan to hit it again in 2 weeks weather permitting.

Assuming I got the treatment correct, is this reasonable this time of year?

Not really. Metabolism is so slow (or dormant) that it is not very effective.

Ok, thanks!
