    Looks to me like ground ivy.  It can be hoed or pulled up but will come back from teeny root stolons so vigilance is needed.

    This is what Garden Organic has to say about it - https://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/weeds/ground-ivy

    Nice present!

    I have a n attractive form of persicaria with deep red splodges on its leaves that has grown in every pot I filled with a certain batch of bought compost.   Wouldn't mind but I'd just paid for 3 of it to use as ground cover at a plant fair the month before it started sprouting all over.
