Celia -- I confess I couldn't tell henbit from chickweed unless the hen
bit me, nor crabgrass from Bermuda grass, nor barnyard grass from
you-name-it. This becomes a difficulty when I am consulting people about
how to get rid of the latest nameless (to me, anyhow) vegetative pest to
invade the garden. Isn't there an illustrated guide to pernicious weeds
somewhere, complete with mug shots?
