Hi TFO pals,

I have been letting Ichabod enjoy the 90 degree sunshine outdoors. I recently noticed these small purple flowers springing up in my yard. Can anyone help me identify them? I have been keeping him away from them until I find out of they are harmful or safe. Thanks!

Looks to me like Ground Ivy, Glechoma hederacea.

Not sure if it is safe or not. It is in the mint family, so most likely it is fine.

*EDIT - also called Creeping Charlie, which I believe is toxic.
