Familiarizing yourself with common weed types helps in identification:

• Annual Weeds: These weeds complete their life cycle in one growing season. Examples include crabgrass and chickweed.
• Perennial Weeds: These weeds return year after year. Examples include dandelions and bindweed.
• Biennial Weeds: These weeds take two years to complete their life cycle. Examples include foxglove and burdock.
