Laura Williams on Apr 29, 2015Do not taste it if you don't know what it is!! If you can wait until it blooms, that will help you identify. Can you take a sample to your local extension agent?Helpful Reply

Kathy Ruth on Apr 29, 2015@Laura Williams I never taste without knowing what a plant is! I harvest my dandelion greens and blossoms and also the cleavers herb that grows wild. I am learning about all the plants in my yard but this one looks like a number of different ones. I will wait until it blooms--I'm HOPING for something edible or medicinal).Helpful Reply

Barbara White Gallagher on Apr 29, 2015This looks like a variety of a plant called Creeping Charlie. I have it all over my back yard and it is extremely hard to get rid of. When crushed it has a fairly strong scent not really unpleasant but herb like.Helpful Reply

Kathy Ruth on Apr 30, 2015Some of them are getting pretty tall-around a foot or more-so I don't think they are violets. No blooms yet or even any flower buds. I'll wait because I like the leaves, they're pretty!Helpful Reply
