    it certainly looks like chickweed to me

    are the roots like tangled cotton?

  • yep, that´s chickweed ... just keep weeding it before it has the chance to set seed ... finally you´ll get rid of this little annual

    Defenitely chickweed. No need to worry. It's an annual and it's easily removed. If you happen to have some chooks, they love this weed. You will have to keep on top of it as this plant flowers and sets seed at the same time during it's growing season. Try to remove all the roots too as chickweed can overwinter.http://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/organicweeds/weed_information/weed.php?id=16
