I planted something here, but forgot. I should have labeled them, but also forgot. Maybe it's just something that grows in the yard! Also fine.

The tomatoes were labeled! I know where those are, haha!

Maybe strawberry tree, arbutus unedo

That doesn't really look like strawberry. You only have two true leaves, though. The suckers aren't much help.

This could be mint.... Identifying sprouts this tiny is hard AF.... Once they get bigger it gets much easier

I'll wait until it grows then! The mint didn't make it out of the planter so it shouldn't be that, but if my yard is to be mint, well it'll smell nice when mowed!

I don't know what it is, but it definitely isn't a strawberry.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Alas! Maybe the strawberry will appear somewhere.

Thank you! I've never seen serrated wintergreen here, but maybe!
