Question
I have a bank next to our yard and it is very large.  I seeded wildflower seed last fall.  I have chickweed I think (blooming with purple flowers) all over the bank.  Is there anything safe I can purchase to kill this crazy chickweed without harming the seeds.  The seeds have not germinated yet.  I live in northeast kansas.  Will I have to start over again by spraying all the weeds and then reseading?  Please help.

Answer
Common names of plants vary regionally.  What I know as chickweed has white flowers, is a shallow-rooted annual and is very easy to pull up so there is no reason to resort to chemicals.  I do not know what you have that would bloom this early in the year.  Could you perhaps take a plant to your local Cooperative Extension office for identification?
