| When this grass (or sedge?) started growing, it didn't look especially weedy, so I let it go. Not sure I like it, but would love to know what it is. The leaves are round and hollow.
Thanks!

| Not a grass but a rush. The common one we have in the east that looks like that is Juncus effusus. |

| Thanks lycopus! Seems to fit. |

| Indicates dampness. |

| Yup, no question about that! This is an area that retains water in the winter and spring. Plants that like wet feet do well in this part of the garden. |

| Sedges have edges, Rushes are round, Grasses have joints (when the cops aren't around) |
