What is this please? and is it staying or going (if its going i can get to that creeping buttercup underneath it hah!)
Geranium?
Might be herb robert ( Geranium robertianum). If so, the leaves are very pungently scented.
think it's a weed i have it in all sorts of places, grows anywhere, is pretty easy to pull up too.
ummm, so weed or herb?
A weed is simply a plant in the wrong place - Herb Robert is a pretty wild plant - if you like it then keep it - if you don't then pull it up
It's Herb Robert and you'll get a load of them if you leave it, mostly where you don't want them of course
I class this as a 'good' weed as it is so easy to pull out or leave if you like it - hate the smell though if you touch it.
It's a pretty weed, but if you let it seed it will be all over the place. Probably good to remove the buttercup, including all root, lest that spreads too.
It does smell pungent, so i guess herb robert is correct. It is quite nice, but i dont want lots so i think it can go.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
