In the past I thought this was a variety of fescue. I'm not sp sure that's accurate though. Different growth habit, seedheads have hairs/beard deal going on. It's a completely different color green. It's growing in random spots. Looks super healthy.
Do we like it?Perennial Ryegrass is my first vote. Quackgrass is second. Both look very close after headed out.
After looking at pictures, I don't think it is perennial ryegrass nor quack grass. Has a seedhead very similar to fescue, only bearded.Cows eat it and makes hay if not over ripe.
Haven't ID'd it yet, but definitely not perennial ryegrass.Perineal ryegrass
I'm wondering if it isn't a type of fescue. The bearded seed is what's throwing me for a loop.Haven't ID'd it yet, but definitely not perennial ryegrass.
Shouldn't be. Anything potentially is possible, especially if it would be a stray plant or two. Bou this, based on the description here, seems to be propagating itself and I definitely would not expect that of bearded wheatgrass in this location.Pl@ntNet seems to think its Elymus caninus:

Do you have bearded couch grass down there?
Leaf edge, not the underside. Basically, take a leaf blade and drag it across your fingertip kinda like using it like a knife. The leaf edge, but draw the leaf across your fingertip from the tip of the leaf to the base of the leaf, not the base of the leaf to the tip.I went to get a few samples yesterday... I cannot locate a single clump. Lol.
When i do find it i will try the leaf underside for serations.
Thanks for the explanation, Mark!Leaf edge, not the underside. Basically, take a leaf blade and drag it across your fingertip kinda like using it like a knife.

Lets see, didn't someone tell you it would be one of the first things to disappear when the cows found it? Who was that person?I went to get a few samples yesterday... I cannot locate a single clump. Lol.
