Well, spent till dark fighting the good fight. Digging away, hand spade by hand spade. Each shovel was looked thru on a big white plastic bag. Where there is one there are always two.. probably more. All dirt was moved into a bucket. I'm going to keep doing this till I have done this bed. I'm going to remove what plants I can and rinse the roots. I know I can't get them from in the stand of tall iris, and I don't want to damage my Maple tree, as I grew it from a seed and it is almost my height now. I am going to try and screen the soil best I can and re-fill w/ this and garden soil. It's at least worth a shot. Mad_Gallica, I totally agree that knowing what it is doesn't help! I can't believe that it has been up your way for that long. I have never, ever seen it before, yet I have been told on many occasions I am extremely observant of things. I have begun to see it everywhere now. My method last year: long, thick screwdrivers, used to get between perennial roots and deep under the stands of bulbs. I'd pry a bit and then get my gloved hand underneath somehow and discard the whole lot filled with bulbs. Needless to say I have lots of low spots now. Oh, and I lost several screwdrivers that way too. LOL! Borrowed my moms metal detector twice to try and find 'em. Unsuccessfully, BTW. I just told Dear Boyfriend that they would turn up come fall or winter! PFT! I'll have to look into adding an asparagus fork to the arsenal. Camp, I'd stay clear of these for sure. So many better choices out there. Catspa, how did you find the reference to the 1935 thing? Was it somehow on that site? I know, it's sad to see escapees like that. I don't envy your plight either. I've been hesitant to dispose of these things myself. I imagine a landfill topped with fields of Pinelllia! But honestly, I see no other way than to bag them up in recycled grocery bags (always check for holes in the bag first!!) and send them to the city dump. I keep reading they regenerate from rhizomes, too, and root systems, but I think it is the bulbs only. I try and not leave any roots behind, but they are short and don't break too easily. Either way, I'm afraid of squashing them and trying to compost. No Way!! They are so prolific I can only imagine every squashed bulb producing multiple, mutant squash-up shaped new bulbs. SHUDDER! I only gave away one tub of Black eyed susans last year to the across the street neighbor, for fear of spreading them. I took hers from a "safe" spot and tried to go thru the roots for signs of it. Before I gave them to her I called her over to point out the nasty stuff and give her the run down to be extra careful if she sees anything like it pop up near the BES's. My due diligence, I guess. Best I could do.

Yeah, this Yellow Woodsorrel is hell as far as spreading like CRAZY, I've 2 different weeds doing exact same, it almost seems like they're in this together, which is the yellow wood sorrel and the spotted spurge which has little purple spots on them.. I'm about to use the post-emergence CELSIUS WG HERBICIDE, which, if can get rid of Virginia Buttonweed, hope that you NEVER GET THIS STUBBORN, VERY FREAKING HARD AND I MEAN HARD TO GET WEED EVER TO GET RID OF. I FORGOT TO GET THE SURFACANT STUFF THAT MAKES THE CELSIUS WG STICK TO IT AFTER SPRAYING THE CELSIUS WG ON IT SINCE ITS, THE BUTTONWEED HAS A SLIPPERY TYPE LEAF AND SO IT NEEDS THAT STUFF TO MAKE IT STICK TO THE BUTTONWEED, ELSE IT'LL JUST SLIDE OFF OF THIS STUBBORN, SO HARD TO GET WEED...OMG, BUT THE SORREL WILL SPREAD SO FAST, THEY SHOOT THEIR SEEDS OVER 3 FEET IN THE AIR. BE READY TO SPRAY EARLY FALL OR SPRING IN ORDER TO GET RID OF THEIR SEEDS THAT THEY RELEASED ALREADY THAT WILL BLOOM OR BE HERE NEXT SPRING.. I'M SPRAYING EARLY, EARLY SPRING, I MEANT WINTER IN ORDER TO GET RID OF THEIR SEEDS SO THEY DON'T COME THIS COMING SPRING...😁😁GOOD LUCK TOO YOU.I KNOW THAT I NEED IT..OMG

Hi zep516, How did you know beanwabr was infected with Palladium Pro? I could not find out any info about this from beanwabr. You said my link leaded to a possible infected web site? I can tell you that this site (teesupport.com) is safe. I know this because this site keeps posting blogs (http://blog.teesupport.com/) for virus removal and legit applications uninstall instructions each day. Teesupport starts its blogs for over one year and some of blogs are even listed on the top search on Google. I do not think Google will allow sites that will damage your computer to exist for such a long time. I have also tested this site using online anti-virus scanners from various security vendors and all test show that it is a safe site. What is more, as far as I know, TeeSupport is an online company to provide remote tech support and they receive payment via PayPal or Safe Cart. Will a virus maker dare to receive payment via PayPal or Safe Cart? Talking about spam..There is a very interesting thing. See two latest posts from two different sites here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-master-utilities http://www.citruscomputers.com/2011/09/01/remove-master-utilities-uninstall-guide/ "Your computer should now be free of the Master Utilities program. If your current anti-virus solution let this infection through, you may want to consider purchasing the PRO version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to protect against these types of threats in the future." -- This is the bleeping computer site that you won't doubt. I know bleeping computer site very well and I like it so much as you guys and I just want to list an example here to support my opinion. So far, I don't think there is any pure site without promoting anything. My principal is to choose info that I need and ignore the unwanted info on the internet. If a site does not force you to buy anything in an illegal way like rogue software and it can provide you some useful info, then that is not a bad site. By the way, I admit that sometimes I will buy things from the internet because of those sites' promotion but I don't think it is bad because they provide useful things to me and I think they deserve my payment for hard work of making such useful things. Enjoy the internet! Regards, Alan_hoicns

It looks like you have a bermuda lawn. Do not use Roundup, it will kill your lawn. You can spray the entire with a broad leaf week killer. You can get one that attaches to your hose. You may need to spray it a couple of times. That will take care of the weeds that are not grassy weeds. For the grassy weeds it is best to prevent them with pre emergents. They are granular and are applied like fertilizer. If you are in N. TX then you will need to apply that on March 1, June 1 and Sept. 1. If you live in other parts of TX then check with your County extension agency for the proper dates. Keep your grass cut short, 1-1,1/2" . Taller grass will not be as thick. Mow low and mow often. This will help to thicken the grass. Fertilize once the grass start growing well, lightly every 4-6 weeks if you are trying to improve your lawn. Good luck!
