I think it is rye, by looking at pictures on the web. I had leased my house out for 2 years, and just moved back Aug. 2011, so I guess the renters decided to plant rye! Yikes...it is taking over! I read on a website that if you quit watering for 2 weeks, it will dry up. Of course now, we will probably start having monsoons...
 I will remember to keep it cut high, and hopefully all of this will help. I really don't like the looks of it.
