Bloody stuff grows everywhere. It's a nuisance, invasive and needs to be chucked rather than composted. I don't know the name of it, but if it is what I think it is, it is similar to a sort of ground elder. Uproot it carefully after loosening the soil around it, and cast it into the bin to be dealt with by the council !
I agree it looks like one of the weeds I constantly pull out of soil and plantpots although I can't tell its size compared to a pound coin for example?
There was a thread about this last week but I can't find it, it is a weed and I have it too. On the plus side it comes up really easily and doesn't have deep roots so just keep pulling it up and hoe regularly. I think it is an annual weed but self seeds. At least it's not horsetail, that is a nightmare
Nutcutlet is right,it looks like one of the willowherbs,probably rose bay willowherb. I saw a documentary about London in the blitz where this plant would colonise bomb sites,it loves burnt ground and I think many of those poor people were possibly glad of it considering their situation.
I get these but just pull em out when I see them, I don't worry to much bout weeds they don't grow in the wrong place to annoy us ( although I expect people will beg to differ lol)
