    Hi all

    Literally hundreds of these have popped up over my lawn since the new year. This is the first time it has happened, never before.

    How do I get rid of them? Will mowing the lawn over them help or do they have to be picked out individually? Its really annoying because every year my lawn is gorgeous and this just makes it look untidy.

    PLease help :gaagh:

    Welcome to the forum Cruiser.
    Those seedlings in your lawn look like tree seedlings to me. Sycamore maybe. They can be a real nuisance.
    You could try just mowing and see how it goes.

    :scratch: Hi cruiser, my first thought is obviously something has self seeded..As they are seedlings... Do you have many plants around your lawn that are self seeding for starters..? Could it be seeds from one of them or any annuals you grew last year that have seeded..

    :scratch: To me at present they do not look like any seedling in particular, but nobody wants a troublesome weed either.... :WINK1: Hopefully someone else may be along soon & have much more of an idea than me... :thumbsup:
