Thanks for the information. I am in Carrollton, north of Dallas. I have a little crabgrass, but nothing crazy. I do plant annuals so I will put some CMG down for that.
The weeds that I have been battling last weekend and this weekend are unbelievable. Some of them look like carrott tops, some like a "timid" crabgrass - softer leaves and no flower and the little clover weeds that are kind of magenta (female description of all that stuff).
Have been "copying and pasting" information from the forums to try and figure out a schedule. My yard is a typical subdivision lot in which I have put in several flower beds, the largest ones in the backyard. I have always had numerous pots of flowers on the patio and fed them weekly with Miracle Grow with beautiful results. Have been using a commercial lawn care company and was overrun with fire ants last year. In trying to figure out how to get rid of them, I have been converting to organics. Am worried about how my flowering plants will perform without the Miracle Grow stimulation, but don't want to poison my ground anymore. Am starting to get more worms, which is encouraging.
The weeds are a concern for me as I have never had this many before and want to make sure that I am doing whatever I can to reduce the number of them (in addition to digging them up).
So once again, thank you for the information.
