Revenge of the Weeds: Spring’s Unwanted Comeback

As spring arrives, so do the weeds—ready to reclaim your lawn and garden! Warmer temperatures encourage weeds to sprout, competing with your plants for nutrients, water, and sunlight.

Some of Michigan’s most common spring weeds include:
 Dandelions – Bright yellow flowers with deeply toothed leaves.
 Crabgrass – Light green, with finger-like seed heads.
 Clover – Recognizable by its three-lobed leaves and white flowers.
 Henbit – Square stems with tiny purple flowers.
 Wild Violets – Heart-shaped leaves with delicate purple or blue blooms.

Early identification is key—spotting these weeds before they spread allows for more effective control. Stay ahead of the invasion and keep your lawn healthy and weed-free this season!
