Good Evening,
I would be very grateful if someone at would identify the Plant/Weed below. I can never remember buying or planting it and it is in the process of taking over my boarder.

Use the upload icon (the wee tree in the message box), looks like you've tried to post an image into the box?
Hi T RG does it grow small yellow flowers if so I call it creeping Jenny (but am not well known for giving plants the correct name
) But without a pic it's a bit of a shot in the dark
weeds are only plants that you don't like
oik it out perseverance is good for the soul 
With any 'thug', it is simply (ha!) a case of dig, pull, yank, dig more all the time. I had a problem with vinca (periwinkle) in my last garden...I spent almost a week digging it out of one long border but I was still finding bits of it 18 years later when we sold! In my current garden, I am trying to get rid of Japanese anemones. Yes, I know they are very pretty, but they are appearing in the lawn now. Still, I'm only 4 years into the task so a while to go yet...I find the main culprits are hypericum, vinca, lamium and, yes, Creeping Jenny. There is no solution other than perseverance I'm afraid!
