Mmm, this is a tough one. I have several garden thugs I could choose.
I thought about alkanet and then creeping buttercup but at least those two have pretty flowers and the insects love them. Then pondered mares tail but it’s quite weedy here (pardon the pun) and I quite like the feathery foliage (which helps hide the bluebells as they die down). But that then put bluebells (spanish and native) into the running but again they are pretty and liked by the bees etc.
So finally the winner (loser?) for me is couch grass, which has no redeeming features at all

Cat poo. Not cats, I love cats, I just wish they didn't decide that my veg beds made the perfect lavatory. If we were allowed more choices, dock and bittercress would be in the running, but at least I don't have to arm myself with rubber gloves, a bin bag, and a clothes peg in order to remove them.

Well then, the bunny that has taken up residence in my garden. Snug and dry behind a dense asparagus fern.
Anyway, the vegetal has already been mentioned by someone (who lives in France....nearish me).
