The cooler temperatures also affected pollinating insects, which either stayed dormant later or emerged in a lackadaisical mood and weren’t as active. Reminds me of trying to get out of bed on a cold winter morning when I’d rather stay curled up under a nice down comforter. Q. At the end of summer this year, I noticed this strange growth in my lawn. It appears to look like “Great Stuff” foam. It’s hard on the outside and seems to “grow” through the lawn.

Nutgrass is an obnoxious weed that is very hard to eradicate. It grows in all types of soil, produces tough, strap-like leaves with a papyrus-like ball structure on top. You can dig out each piece by the root, and the root looks like white, hard nodules. As you’ve discovered, it forms a massive, web-like underground structure.
