If it turns out to be nut grass (chufa) you need to dig down and remove every little bit of the plant . Tilling doesn't do any good but I've had moderate success with Round-Up. At the main plant there will be a 1/2" tuber that looks like a small shriveled nut (which is edible if you're reallllly hungry) and all the others spread out from it. Try to get rid of it in the winter before it starts spreading.
If it's wheat I wouldn't worry about it. Texas summer will take care of the problem.

I try to get my habs fruiting in late June / early July. I've had a problem with them getting kinda moldy during October if it's wet and cool.

Just finished planting seven rows of corn, fifteen chilis, six Early Girl tomatoes , 3 rows of black-eyed peas and twelve hills of crook-neck squash. Hope I can get out of bed in the morning to catch the Sandy/Crappie on Sandlin.

I am in need of some hard core chemicals,lol. I have a problem with snails at my Moms place and they are every where. I have started putting ashes to make a border around the yard but what do you guys recommend to get rid of them in the yard, either spray or granules will work? I am WAY past the beer in the saucer thing. These snails are everywhere.... Hopefully you can recommend something I can get from the home depot. Thanks.

Water a patch of grass thoroughly and put a piece of plywood on top. In the morning , turn the wood over and collect the snails.

Do as siberman suggested or get some snail bait and put it out...It comes in a shaker can...

Wow...I don't know...If it stops it will mean you won't have to water for a week or so...If it doesn't, it might mean you'll need to replace them...It really depends on what type of soil you have and if it has good drainage...

I thought so. On the good news side, there is no water standing in the area, it all seems to be soaking in or draining off. I just watered/miracle growed them yesterday before the rain

This may be one of the few times when the OT's standard answer of 'pee on it' might actually work...?  Okay, I have no idea. I've never seen that stuff...
