Tough one. Kinda looks like Purslane. But it typically has a more red stem, but not always. What color do the flowers bloom if they do? I'm also thinking Spurge. If you have more can you get an overall pic of it in the lawn or landscape.

Thanks Derek. I will take another picture tomorrow. Has a red tint to it when you see it in the lawn.

I'm assuming you being in Katy you have a St. Augustine lawn? If so get some Atrazine and make a small pump 1 gallon sprayer mix and spot spray. If you don't have a lot to treat make a 1/2 gallon mix and knock it out. If you have a lot add a spraying dye and do it over a couple days if no rain is expected. Follow the label on rates per 1000. You can use the max per year rate to spot spray, but not to blanket spray/treat if that makes sense. I'd get your pre-emergent game in order too.

In October, I put out seeds for couple rows of purple-top Turnips !

They came in good, and doing well even after a few freezes:
Half-row:

Full/long row:
[Linked Image]

So we been pick'n softball size ones like this - very tasty raw, microwaved like baked-potato, and even diced into soups (w/ greens too)
Wife & kiddos clip greens to add into salads, stir-fry, etc, etc.


I put in another two rows just before the rains this week -
So I guess if things go real bad, we'll have something besides jerkey to chew on!

a box-blade I temporarily 'modified'; grin
I took a couple pieces of wood 2x12, about 20" long, drilled 8 holes in ea, and 'wired' them to the front of the outer 'rippers' on the box-blade, lined up so the boards are behind the back tires of tractor.
I then tilt the box-blade with rippers down low and back of blade up as high as I can get it.
2 or 3 passes (to start) and it nicely mounds the raised bed in the middle and high on the edges so I can even water the raised bed with just a water hose on one end.

We've been throwing old straw, and leaves, in the 'troughs' between rows; keeps weeds down and gives nice 'path' to walk on - fertilizing as it decomposes.

The plants are loving it; raised beds without using any boards, so very easy to 'refreshen' for next season (1 pass thru) if needed.

And so the addiction begins! I blame Derek! Jk. I thank Derek for adding much needed info to my newfound sickness.
Tonight, they soak in the accelerator he suggested. Tomorrow they go into ziplocks with coffee filters.

That's why I buy my plants already started. To me starting your own makes them almost like family. Makes me sad to lose them.

What are your thoughts on putting 6 inches of cow manure on my raised garden , then tilling it in in March prior to planting ?

Thanks

As long as you know where the manure came from and what the cows eat you'll be fine. If you're spraying you pasture down with something like Grazon and your cow are going behind that and eating what has been sprayed I wouldn't use it. There are a list of pasture herbicides that are not harmful to cattle but when they eat it, it does not no breakdown in their digestive tracts and it's in their manure. It's even been found in manure that has been composted. It's a slim chance but there is a chance. Now if it's a plain ole pasture with no blanket spraying you're fine. Till it all in. When it starts to warm up 70's+ I would mix a few table spoons of blackstrap molasses per gallon of water and water everything down with it. It will feed the microbes in the soil and help the process of breaking the manure down.
