Chickweed Chickweeds are a constant source of irritation to the home owner. They start growth early in the spring and bloom and produce seeds throughout the summer. Consequently, the fight to maintain chickweed-free lawns is never-ending. According to the Field Crops Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, there are several varieties of chickweed, but the types common to Ontario naturally fall into two classes -- the common and the mouse-ear chickweeds. Common chickweed is an annual with small, tender, smooth, bright green leaves and stems. The flowers are white, star shaped, and because of the small size and prostrate growing habit of the plant are quite inconspicuous. i Mouse-ear chickweed is a perennial with hairy leaves and stems. The stems often exude a sticky substance, which causes dust to adhere, thus giving the plant a dirty appearance. Both chickweeds spread rapidly by seeds, which ripen all summer, and by rooting at the nodes Of the stems. Frequent hoeing in the garden and flower beds will keep chickweed under control. In lawns, 2,4-DD will control common chickweed and will retard mouse-ear chickweed. A more effective treatment is one ounce low volatile ester of 2,4-D mixed with four ounces of potassium cyanate in four gallons of water. Spray infested areas the weeds are wet. Do not use on bentgrass lawns. Further details on weed trol in lawns are included in Ontario Publication 529. "Weed Control in Lawns", available from the Information Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Parliament Buildings, Toronto.
