Search for images of green kyllinga. See if that's what you have on the left four strands. Green kyllinga is very closely related to nutgrass, but I believe the green kyllinga is even harder to control. Why? Because you can simply withhold water from nutgrass and it goes away. Green kyllinga seems to love drought conditions. I have some across my driveway that has not received anything but blazing sun and no water for 20 years and it's still there. At least it is not as aggressive as nutgrass. I understand that the product called Sedgehammer works against it. The others I don't recognize. The seed heads look like either crabgrass or bermuda. Crabgrass goes away by itself, so don't worry about that this time of year. Bermuda will go away by itself if you care for the St Aug properly (mow at the mower's highest setting). But I don't recognize the blades on the plant to the right. Could you zoom in to about 3 inches? There are a couple other possibilities with those seed heads. Is the plant growing from a central spot and spreading out fast? Or is it creeping along the ground via runners going every which way? Can you post a picture of the plant in the wild?

I am located in Pinellas and looking for nurseries that sell vegetable plants at a better price than Lowes or HD. Any ideas? Willow Tree sells tomato and pepper four-pack seedling sets for $1.49, could have gone up a little by now but probably not much. Not sure where you live but most independent nurseries do this, far better prices than the big-box, who occasionally bring in seedling sets but make much more money on the quart-sized plants and couldn't care less about giving you the most bang for buck when it comes to veggies.

Yes, we have three papayas, and one fig- I couldn't see them out the window I was typing near, LOL. Also a sea grape, but not sure that counts... :) Blueberries keep dying, we've tried them twice. I got a load of chipped pine, about 5 or 6 yards worth this summer, letting it break down, and may try planting in that next year, our soil wants to be naturally about 7 pH, so the pine might help with the blueberries. If I can get one more load of clean pine, I will certainly go for them again. We did a you pick em and what we didn't eat we made into wine.... The sugar apples are SOOOO good. Fortunately, I am the only one that has the patience to eat them!!! It froze to the ground this past year, but has come back two fold. I have not seen any buds/fruit, and this is year two for us. It might be a regrowth year, and next year produce...I will certainly wrap the trunk if we get a comparable winter. They do grow from seed, and I did not have great success from cuttings. We got the plant from the USF plant show. I am familiar with floridata and ifas, but sometimes - well locals can give good advice. My wife volunteered today to start transplanting a large beg of 4 o'clocks, to increase the garden-I'm in awe. So happy she's got the garden bug...I want to see her face after she starts diggin those tubers, and they come back up in the spring though :)

One of my long time best friends son was drafted by them (Tampa Bay Devil Rays) right out of school and I think he may still play with them, I don't watch so have not kept up. His name is Travis Schlichting, he was a very good player and a super kid. He may have gone on to some other team by now, I have not talked to his dad in a while. Congrats on the team doing so well!
