| Author's Notes | A sidewalk was put in near my house, the area around the walk was grade and seeded. During the summer of 2014 this grass (Yellow Foxtail) was almost the dominate plant in many of the unmowed areas. Where the people mowed, the Yellow Foxtail was very short and much less of a dominate plant. |
