Thinking crabgrass

In the seedling planter, back in early June, the first sprouts to come up were suspect. The soil came from a local nursery, I’m thinking mixed with compost pile results. The kids said it was cheap. It worked, but it had lots of weeds.

When I plant daylily seeds, I don’t bother the seedlings until they are ready to go in the ground – where they will live for a few years at least.

I don’t think this set of two “seedlings” are daylilies 😉 They are, I think, crabgrass. But if I pull them, they will upset the soil around the other daylily seedlings. The crabgrass may get a severe haircut until I can get the seedling pots up north and the seedlings safely planted in their new location. Hoping soon.
