The wind scattered the seeds of a hugh maple or oak tree onto my front lawn. I 've been trying to rejuvenate my lawn and reseeded earlier this spring. It was growing beautifully, but, aahh!! now I have these things interspersed in my new grass. Can I get rid of them w/a herbicide? If yes which one would you recommend? I tried to manually pluck them but there are so many of them. How did this happen. This didn't happen in years past so why now? Thank you.
