pebblerockerA list of things that grow in my lawn - those that I could identify.
Yarrow
Red clover
White clover
Buttercups
Daisies
Kikuyu
Dandelions
Hawkbit, hawksbeard and/or catsear*
Plantain
Cleavers
Paspalum
Ryegrass
Browntop or Yorkshire fog**
Fescue
Sweet vernal
Onehunga weed
Blue speedwell
Mint
Oxalis
Dock
Thistle of some sort
*It's hard to tell the difference between all the yellow not-dandelion flowers, though I know I don't have oxtongue - it's pricklier.
**They look the same to me even when flowering.
And I had to look it up, but that purple flower I was wondering about is selfheal.
There is also silverbeet growing in my lawn, from where I uprooted some plants that had bolted and then left them lying on the ground for a while before bashing them up smaller for the compost bin, but they won't survive mowing. I should move a few seedlings so they can grow - but my crop rotation is a bit of a mess and the only spot I have for them grew silverbeet and then beetroot and then silverbeet again and really needs a break.
