purple stuff?

[Football Hunter]

Its growing everywhere now,some kind of clover I guess.Wonder if it is good deer food?It grows and grows around here.Wonder what it would be like in a food plot?Probably a good reason not to plant it though.

It is Henbit. I googled it.

kill it....it will ruin your yard ... unless you like just bermuda grass.

It is in the mint family.The seeds it drops this year will sprout next year.The best control is to put down a premergent around the end of Feb or the beginning of Mar. It does seem to be getting worse in alot of areas the last few
years.
