I agree with mulching. I worry about extending my garden beds due to the wild violets. We managed to pull the bulk out of the front bed, but it took an entire summer. My in-laws were visiting and bored during the day so would go out and dig down to the roots. They are persistent buggers! I have followed up this year by putting a second layer of thick mulch and taking any foliage off in order to starve the roots. Beside the stray leaf and weeding a lot before the mulch was put down, I have barely needed to weed. Whatever does grow through is weakened by having to push through the mulch. My lawn is almost 100% weeds dispite reseeding every Spring and Fall. I am planning on reseeding the lawn soon for the fall and then placing the feed pellets as an organic preemergent in the Spring. Might help with the garden, too if the lawn stops being one huge weed.... :)

Do you mean yucca? It is quite usual to find it growing around cemetaries. Here is a link that might be useful: yucca info +pics

This little weed has reddish leaves that grow close to the ground like a ground cover. Early in the spring, small, whitish tufts on single stalks pop up from the center-they kind of resemble a Q-tip. After a week or so, the flower blooms out into a small tuft-kind of resembling a button flower. They are growing on a hillside in the woods of East Tennessee. They stay in a general area and have spread across the hillside over the years.

The leaves are fragrant, like a lemony scent. I couldnt find the flowers anymore.
