14 June 2020 Nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) Posted on June 14, 2020 by Durgan 14 June 2020 Nutsedge 14 June 2020 Nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) There is nutsedge in the vegetable garden. It grows very quickly and must be pulled or constantly chopped with the hoe.Herbicides are not possible to use in the vegetable garden. I eventually remove it, but it is a constant effort.Very easy to identify due to the unique leaf, which is not flat.
