Well, if it IS Nutsedge, Patrick, it must be bad, because when I Googled it, the first hit that came up was an ad for “Ortho Nutsedge Killer Spray.” If the Ortho Company can make money making a special weed killer just for you, you must be a really bad dude (weed). So I guess we have yet another invasive alien that could potentially take over the Green Way Meadow. And it is certainly less attractive than the Moth Mullein (another alien) that is now thriving in the meadow.
