Clearer pictures of Ground Ivy. A very nice patch to collect more leaves and flowers for dried tea.

Ground Ivy still available! Stems seem stronger, firmer. Leaves a little tougher.
Flowers turned brown and all hanging down, almost hidden beneath the opposite leaves.

Coming up around the garden. Ground Ivy leaves have maybe 10 or so rounded, regular
teeth while similar-looking Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata) has at least
20 or more irregular rounded teeth in the young leaves.

A few of the leaves looked too big to be Ground Ivy, but it is. Square stems, no
significant hairs on leaf.
