Too Cute To Be a Weed
Just yesterday I planted some HUGE pansies, and then I find these blooming in the vegetable garden. I'm going to let them stay (for now) because I think they're adorable.

| Viola arvensis |
The flowers are tiny, smaller than my fingernails and I have small hands.
A couple of small patches of Bluets are now in bloom, but no sign of Spring Beauties yet.

Yesterday turned out to be a good day for gardening, but we could use some rain. The basil post I had planned will have to wait, but here's a preview - I sowed seeds of a dozen or so different varieties this week.
