Yeah we seem to have had loads pop up too :-/ darn things... I left them as the leaves looked a little geraniumlike to me now I know it was a giant error ((
Soooo is there any way of getting rid of them. I've just spent all morning getting them out of my borders, but there are loads in the lawn and if I dig all of them out, I'll just have a ploughed field LOL!

To be honest, I thought they were geraniums as well when they first started showing.
Chris, I find they are extremely susceptible to glyphosate, so much so that I spray them in the winter and it kills them. Unfortunately the seed stays viable for many years, so if they have ever seeded they'll be with you until the cows come home!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

I didn't have a big problem until a few years ago when I spread heaps of rotted horse muck in the garden.
p.s. Not blaming the horses
wonder what I'd have if I'd spread chicken muck?

NO easy way to remove......just digging and more digging,making sure you get all the roots out,even a tiny bit left in is enough to start a new plant
Glad it wasn't just mean then LeadFarmer...
Aaaah well ... hands and knees it is then

I might carefully spray them with weedkiller and leave that to take effect in the roots, then dig them up.
