Mowed some durana clover in hopes of this yellow stuff being choked out. Will it work or did it need to be done sooner.

Just mow it you'll be fine.

Is that your brassicas going to seed?

 

[gpaints]

X2. Just winter annual weed pressure, nothing to worry about.

I had little show of clover a couple weeks ago with weeds growing in so i mowed it then, and now the clover is really filling in. Im gonna mow it again tomorrow before the rain starts for the week.
Last year was the same thing but i wasn’t able to mow it for 2 months. When i did the weeds were 2’ tall. After 3 mowings it was almost full clover again. By fall it was plush and full of clover.

Looks like wild mustard, and it looks like brassica because it's in that family. Always have a bunch show up in clover and also last fall's wheat patches.

Yellow rocket .........all brassicas are in the mustard family .......Brussels sprouts, bok choy, cabbage, collard greens, rutabaga, and turnips kale and cauliflower are all brassicas

Actually, brassicaceae IS the mustard family. Not that you were wrong, just that brassicas and mustards are the same. Nothing else is in the brassicaceae family but mustards. It's probably semantically more correct to say all mustards are in the brassica family.
Everything on MWT has to be nit-picked these days.

Good ID by the way, I believe it is yellow rocket. :cheers:

Fricken plant people rubbing off on me ........

 

[Beerman]

Is yellow rocket same as wild mustard or something different? Is it related to tame rocket aka arugula? Did old timers pick as a green
Stuff grows fast and is pretty except not as pretty as good clover!

 

[wiser1]

Same thing

 

[Maddog3355]

If it is a brassica maybe it’s a good thing!!!!

 

[wiser1]

Yellow rocket is invasive and not native

I'd must mow before it drops seed.

I'd must mow before it drops seed.

in my experience last year it just re bloomed but only shorter not to mention with how wet its been it'll reseed itself before the ground dries out

You'll never deplete that seed bank. Its a transient spring weed and doesnt conflict with any crop plantings... just let it do its thing.

I was thinking that too, but I'd still rather not let it go to seed,

I can appreciate that, for sure.

It would be best to let the brassias go to hard seed then mow it. Clover does really well being mowed higher before it goes to seed. That way other cool season grasses that are not wanted get mowed before they add seed. Most of those unwanted grasses are taller then the clover.
