    This is a small plant probably only about 6-7" tall. It might be a weed but I never have noticed it before.
    The pictures show more than I can tell you. It has come up in a raised cold frame where I grow cuttings. There are like 4-5 of these plants, all the same size and growing fast. I'd like to know if I should grow it or pull it. If you can ID I would appreciate it much. Thanks.

    Interesting leaf form, but have no idea what it is. You can always pot 'em up until their identity becomes known, then decide.

    Reminds me of Glechoma but I don't remember the hairs or spines on it. Not sure what you have there.

    Small Nettle Urtica urens, or possibly a seedling Common Nettle Urtica dioica. I'd pull them.

    Could it be a form of Nettle?

    Looks like y'all have solved another mystery for me. The plants are coming up fine in the cold frame so I think I'l let them grow for a while. I can always pull it out later. Thanks again and if in the Spring, it flowers or sets fruit or does something remarkable I'll let you know. For now it is just a happy little Nettle making the best of my cold frame.
