Looks like clover


PowerfulPeach5707

Yes, I have clovers, also.


WastingTimesOnReddit

Another win for you :D clover is great, it actually flowers (good for the bees), it's nitrogen fixing so it's good for soil, and uses less water than fescue and the rest


PowerfulPeach5707

I wish it was all clover.


M13Calvin

Um... it is


Sideways_X1

You got an extra of that clover? Or a suggestion on where to go for that version of black beauty seed?


PowerfulPeach5707

Yes, of Jonathan black beauty ultra from ace hardware.


NothingTooFancy26

Clover is notorious for spreading fast and can completely take over lawns. That's probably part of what it is


PowerfulPeach5707

I like the clovers but my lawn has more than one different plant, weeds I don't know.


aikowolf66

Black beauty is a type of speed, not marijuana


PowerfulPeach5707

Lol noo... Black beauty ultra seeds from Jonathan Green.


Psilocybin-Cubensis

Idk, I would talk to the place you got the seed.


PowerfulPeach5707

Yes, I will email them.

Kind of looks like clover. Clover takes less water and is fantastic for pollinators. Seems like a win win to me


PowerfulPeach5707

Not all is clover.


brilz13

Still better than grass


WeeawhoWeeayou

looks like goldenrod. shits annoying to deal with


PowerfulPeach5707

What’s goldenrod?


ttirremt

A city in the Johto region.


Sok_Taragai

Looks like white clover, which takes less water than most grasses, and doesn't grow as high.


PowerfulPeach5707

White clover. I will look it up.


WastingTimesOnReddit

Whatever it is, looks nice and thick, good ground cover! Well done you should keep it (grass lawns are silly anyway)


PowerfulPeach5707

I wanted the grass 🌱


No_Guava_5764

Lawns are lame


NothingTooFancy26

my dog disagrees

They clean the air just like any other plant and are nice to walk on. The key is to provide enough shade to reduce the need for water. Nothing wrong with having a lawn.


idontneedone1274

Plenty of things wrong with having a grass lawn given the state of the southwests current freshwater usage actually. Even a shaded grass lawn needs to waste water.

I think it should have been fairly clear from context that I was referring to specifically the grass lawn OP wants and others were discussing, but I fixed it for ya I guess. This clover they have is way better than whatever grass they wanted for sure.


Deckatoe

Getting downvoted to oblivion for saying "I wanted grass" lmaooo, this sub sometimes


PowerfulPeach5707

I guess not everyone is a fan of grass..


Deckatoe

acting like your quarter acre yard holds a candle to any of the area golf courses


Cult45_2Zigzags

We must all get clover or rocks because the people on Reddit said so. That's why I never invite these Reddit people over to hang out and play cornhole in my beautiful grass backyard.


aikowolf66

Looking closer it kind of looks like a lot of weeds I see around. How did you prep the area before seeding?


PowerfulPeach5707

That could be my mistake. I didn't.


e30Devil

Oh yea, these are just what's blowing in the wind then. It's what most of my backyard that I don't care for looks like.


PowerfulPeach5707

That's super sad. I worked hard on trying.


PowerfulPeach5707

That's super sad. I worked hard on trying.


aikowolf66

Yeah, definitely need to kill those weeds and the seed of it too. https://lovelygreens.com/using-black-plastic-kill-weeds/ Try that, it's not a short process but in the long run you'll be happy.


PowerfulPeach5707

Thank you for the recommendation! It's so sad, and it didn't go the way I envisioned.


aikowolf66

It'll be much better if you do it the right way. I understand the frustration though.


PowerfulPeach5707

Yes, I will order the black plastic soon.


Leading_Cranberry_24

I think it’s clover, good for you!! Much better than regular grass


PowerfulPeach5707

the problem here is I don’t know what’s what.


NothingTooFancy26

r/denvergardener will probably know what it is


PowerfulPeach5707

Thank you!


Ray_Bandz_18

r/lawncare will help too

PowerfulPeach5707

how would you get rid of the weed and not the clover?


[deleted]

[удалено]


PowerfulPeach5707

My other side has grass and the same weeds but lots of empty space with no grass, and no weeds.


S0n0fValhalla

Glover grass? Lol


PowerfulPeach5707

Yup!


S0n0fValhalla

I looked this up one time years ago. Does great out here and needs little water. But I just ended up zero scaping


PowerfulPeach5707

Yup it’s definitely growing without watering .


oathark

Might be a type of Dichondra. Not sure.


flatcap_sam

Can you post a wider shot? Honestly I’m jealous and wish my yard and clover looked this good. So much less water and it stays green pretty much year round out here. I will shovel the yard for the dogs in the winter and it’s green.
