Ok this is the first time that I have had the chance to do some landscaping. We rototilled and seeded the front yard a few weeks ago and now have some nice grass growing....and some weeds. This kind of weed wasn't there before, so I am almost thinking that they came with the grass seeds :shakehead:...they are fat and juicy leaves and stems and if I don't keep up with them they will get yellow flowers. I can't used the weed kill stuff till I've mowed the lawn 3 times (one more to go) but I would like to know what kind of weed it is....anyone?

That looks like(actualy I'm pretty sure) buttercup.and ypu don't want it :no
 
Thanks for the heads up! Are there different kinds of buttercup? the flower on this appears directly on the crown of the leaves - buttercups I remember (only remember the flower, not the leaves) sends up an extra shoot, no? Wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong...
 
Are there different kinds?Some might call that a kind of understatement:D
