Cereal Rye or Grass Growing in my Clover?

[Victor Van Meter]

Just checking to see if this is Rye popping up from last year or grass? It is getting pretty thick and definitely outpacing my clover. If it is grass, I will spray when the the weather warms up consistently. Thanks.

Rye is purple stems when it's small. I can't really tell one way or the other from the pics but rye also grows straight up. If I had to make a call from the pictures I'd say you have grass there but taking a closer look would be better to know for sure.

Look like it could be rye. Did you broadcast any in there last fall?
