- all leaves and the stem are covered in fine hairs
- grows to about <10cm

my first thought was thale-cress but the flowering time is slightly out. I'll try and get a photo sometime...

Well If You're stumped then I hesitate to guess! But a cress sounds right, leaves have no leaflets though? The bittercresses flower quite early I'm thinking.
