Clover, it will spread so pull it out now or you will be sorry. (I'm also

Given your location, it's probably a type of oxalis rather than clover, but
the difference is largely academic and the two are similar in appearance --
except when flowering.. It's a tough plant to get rid of, but if you let it
go it can take over --

I don't know what the weeds are, but I enjoyed looking at the beautiful
women in your photo album,...........oh, and the cars are cool, too.

Clover or lemon grass.

Lemon grass will form small yellow flowers, has a thin stems
and grows 4 inches tall or more.

Clover stays lower to the ground with purple or white flowers.

Clover or a relative. If you don't like it weed it out now, while it is
small. Or wait until next year, and hit it with an herbicide that stops
germination of dicot (ie not grass) seeds, then weed out the survivors.
Odds are, much of it is growing from seed.

Looks like clover to me. It's green, don't worry about it.

It looks like clover to me too. See:

http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7490.html

I would also visit a "real" garden center (not Home Depot) and
ask their advice on herbicides. They will know what's approved
in your state and generally suitable for the local climate
and soil conditions.

If you don't like that stuff, deal with it now. Clover will
spread quite agressively and that will only make it harder
to control.

It's clover. Set a bear trap on it and just wait for Lucky the
leprechaun to show up. Then take his pot of gold and hire a gardener to
re-sod your yard.

It looks like oxalis to me. If it begins to give bright yellow flowers
on a tallish stem, it definitely is. It will pretty much disappear by
May or June and then come back quadruple next winter. Good luck getting
rid of it. I've been trying for two years, making limited headway.
It's almost impossible to clear out without destroying everything else
growing near it.

Clover used to be considered advantageous for lawns. It greens up faster
than grass and fixes nitrogen so it helps the soil. Weed & Feed kills it
along with other broadleaf weeds so the fertilizer companies just listed
clover as a weed on their packaging and now thats how many people think of
it.

It lookes like the greenest thing you have. I would keep it


Looks like clover. A lot of people don't like it. Don't know why
because
it stays green and is low growing. The small flowers it has and they
supply bees with nectar.

Yep, and particularly, once N levels reach values grasses like, the
clover will gradually fade on its own to regenerate more densely when N
levels fall again...all in all, not much to be said against it imo.

White clover, anyway...some of the red or field clovers are pretty
coarse for lawns--I didn't look at pic's but from what others have said
I'd presume that's what OP has (white, that is)...

You're confusing clover with shamrock, which only grows in Ireland.

As do leprechauns :-)

In this area of the country it is called snow and ice, and we are sick
