I remember my first dealings w/ this vine was back when I was a teenager :) That was a *few decades ago. We had this vine in the middle of a bed of azaleas and every freaking month, that vine would come back on its root system. It literally took us about 8 months of 2 or 3 times a month digging to get to the root system. It's not enough to "pull the vine"...what has to happen is the root system to that vine (everywhere it comes out of the ground) has to be gotten up with out being disturbed and broken apart. When I saw your original picture, it was like the summer of the late 70's early 80's. That vine was my nightmare. I pray it will be better for you. If you've caught it early that will probabaly work to your advantage. Dora

The truth of the matter is, it doesn't matter what kind of weed you have the important question is......what kind of lawn you have. That's what determines what you can spray. Bayer has a product for St Augustine lawns that you can buy at John Deere stores called, Celsius but it is expensive as it is packaged for commercial use but homeowners can buy it. It is not heat sensitive. Other wise you can wait till daytime temperatures get down to 85 and spray your lawn with atrizine. Spot spraying is also an option during the hot months.

This looks like Montauk daisy which has flowers like a Shasta daisy but leaves that are thicker and more succulent. They have changed the botanical name a number of times so my best advice is to Google 'Montauk daisy' and read all about it. It likes full sun and lots of air around it. It did not like my moist, rich soil and part shade. Blooms mid-summer into fall. Easy if you have the right conditions--isn't everything?

I suspected they were rhubarb- I remember plants that looked like this in our yard when I was a kid, and though nobody ver did anything with it, am I told it was rhubarb. I just didn't want to get my hopes up that it was actually something good instead of some giant nuisance. Yippppeeee!!! My sis loves strawberry rhubarb pie. Guess I better go do some rhubarb research. Thanks!!
