[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 402877, member: 57"] horses dont eat it? horses should certainly eat crabgrass. (my horses tear it up).it sounds like everyone agrees that its crabgrass except me. crabgrass tends to be hairyish. this is shiney and slick looking. it looks to me like what we call waterpepper around here. aka ladysthumb, smartass, smartweed. there are different varieties. horses wont touch the stuff and cows dont like it either. grows around the edges of ponds mostly on our place and in swampy areas. its a lot harder to kill with spray than is crabgrass too. it will spread rapidly with runners and then start growing tall. crabgrass doesnt really make a LOT of runners does it? (i guess there are different types of crabgrass too though). does this weed have flowers or put out a seed head? waterpepper: [img]http://plants.usda.gov/gallery/standard/pema24_001_shp.jpg[/img] [img]http://oregonstate.edu/dept/nursery-weeds/weedspeciespage/smartweed/ocrea_250.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/phpps/ipc/weedinfo/usedimages/ladysthumbleavesA.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.umassgreeninfo.org/fact_sheets/weed_herbarium/images/polpe3337w.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
