Idk if I planted this one or not. Looks kind of interesting to me. Anyone know what it might be?

I don't know the name but it looks like a weed I pull. Can you put a thumb or quarter next to it for size reference

Could be Cerastium glomeratum (mouse ear chick weed), but could also be any other weed with opposite hairy leaves.

it looks like Mouse eared chickweed to me too. Very common to find it very early in the year, as even a few weeks ago in zone 4 it was practically the only green plant. If there are random ones in the garden, I could be certain, but if this is the only one, you might want to let it grow some more and be sure.

I thought it might be a Myosotis (Foret-me-not), but I see your plant is opposite leafed. Myosotis is alternate.

Plant ID app: mouse ear chickweed.
Invasive. Should be removed. It has a spreading root system, so
be sure to get the whole thing. It chokes out native plants and sucks up nutrients.
