  No it's not herb robert. I am very familiar with that, it has a bit of a stink,

  Carrots smell of carrots

  did you get any flowers on the love in a mist in the pot?

  Larkspur is another one with similar leaves but not so prolific seeding.

  I think the leaves are wider than in your photo. Didn't smell carrot. Is love in the mist same as Nigella? I had very small flowers I think but left too long in pots and they withered.
  
  I will try and get a better photo.....

  Yes, nigella, if they flowered they probably seeded. My money is still on nigella, I think you're right, not larkspur.

  Nigella for me too.

  A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
