That looks like strawberry plants, but it may be the wild form. Do they have a flower? I am fighting the wild kind in a flower bed right now. It came from nowhere over winter and had spread like wildfire. The wild ones make very tiny sour red berries and have yellow flowers.

I second that. The fuzzy arms, the toothed leaves. Hmm.
Tina, are the plants all joined
together to one another with long 'arms'?

Strawberries!!!!!! How lucky can a girl get?????
Did you mean the edible kind?
It does have long joining 'hands'(vines) creeping very close to the ground mostly around the edges.
I pulled a few out :'(
Are they so easy to grow? I just left them as they are in the yard. Should I help them in any way? Now that I know they are strawberries :-P
Never knew gardening could be so much fun.
I am so glad I found this forum!!
