You and me both!

Since we live in a rural area and no HMO's it doesn't matter what our lawns look like and it's a good thing for me. People around here are too busy caring for cattle, horses, farms to be messing around with lawns and landscaping. They use tractors to do their "yard work" and their lawn ornaments are pieces of farm equipment and broken down outbuildings. And I don't mind, everyone minds their own business and could care less about the weeds next door. My biggest problem with what lawn we have immediately around our house is the oxalis and the chamberbitter. We have Bahia and it doesn't crowd out the weeds as well as St. Augustine, but we can't afford St. Augustine. I wish there was a native grass that could be utilized as turf here. There might be but if there is I don't know what it is. Hey, as long as you keep it mowed and green from a distance you can't tell if it's full of weeds anyways.

My lawn is 60%grass many types, 30%weeds and 10% I don't know what that is but it needs to go.

Invasive basket grass is taking over! It dies out in the winter so now it's just brown. I won't spray my grass so I don't actually have any grass. Native grass would be muhly grass or other clump grass like that.

Laura, so true in my yard in the past 2 summers following the rains... before that, I didn't notice it.
