Weed Identification, Sorry!
I am from Charlottesville, VA. Thanks to this forum I have ID’d the Virginia buttonweed. I moved here about 3 years ago from the midwest and I am just learning. I have another weed. It has a brown stem. Each branch has three leaves. Together the three leaves are about the size of a nickel. It is basically carpets the turf. Does anybody have any idea what this is?
Sincerely,
Joe
P.S. Is it Creeping Beggarweed?

That’s exactly what comes to mind. Got a picture?

I have terminated the stuff since the posting. It took 2 applications of Ortho’s Weed-Be-Gone and 1 application of Bonide Weed Beater Plus to get rid of the last bit of the beggarweed as well as others. The picture that I used to ID the weed is below. I do not have a lot of lawn left after terminating the beggarweed, buttonweed and crabgrass. Fortunately, It is only 11 by 17. My biggest question now is how long should I wait before I start seeding or sodding.
