  2. I think this one is ground ivy ,Glechoma hederacea L. it has an unpleasant (at least to me) odor and spreads like crazy.

  4. This is one of those indicator weeds. It means the soil has poor drainage.

  5. it's a creeping mint--look at it's 4-sided stem. smells good, too. i like it, keep it around. just don't let it creep everywhere like it wants too.

  6. I love the smell of these little purple flowers! It says spring and sunshine and warmth to me.
