  Not sure what it is.
  However Fat hen can be ruled out as the leaves are not the right shape.
  Chenopodium album...common name fat hen has leaves that are more triangular in shape...see below

  Thanks all, I'll wait until it flowers, maybe it's easier to ID then.

  The leaves look like Silene latifolia ... White campion, a gorgeous native wildflower and great for pollinators, particularly nightflying moths.  Have you sown a wildflower mix for pollinators there in the past couple of years?

  Hi Dove,
  

  
  

  Not that I recall in that area,  but we have elsewhere in the garden. I will leave it if it is good for pollinators.
