Plant or weed

Just found this in garden, wasnt there last year. Before i pull it out, is it a plant or weed? If a plant , what is it? Thanks for any help.

 

Looks like a carrot to me, just about to send up a flowering stem. Could be a wild carrot, unless you left one in the soil after growing them last year?

 

Can I add to this as well....?

This wasn't here for me last year, thought it might be a heuchera, but now it's bigger....

 

Looks suspiciously like Geum urbanum.

 

Interesting, I have some geums, didn't plant one there, or one of those!

I shall let it continue to grow and see.

Thanks

 

If it flowers with small yellow ones, then I'd have it out before it seeds as Wood avens is a plant you don't want!

 

Just spent a large part of the morning pulling up wood avens. At least it's pretty easy to uproot.

 

It doesn't look like Wood avens, well not like that in my garden - seeds stick to everything!

 

I'm sure I've seen something like that but cant remember exactly, does the foliage smell if you crush it.

 

Trimmed image.


Leaves look more like carrot OR similar.
If you crush a leaf does it have any smell?
Not right for Geum urbanum...common name wood avens.

 

I think you're looking at the wrong part @Silver surfer - there are 2 ID posts on this thread!

 

I’ve got this …it green in my shady ‘wilderness’ area … can’t remember it’s name … brain isn’t switched on … I’ve just driven home from Lincs … it was a gift from Nutcutlet aka @Angie Jones (nut) … it has red berries …

 

Definitely not geum urbanum or grim urbanism as predictive text prefers. I prefer that name too.
I'd leave it and see if you like it. It doesn't look like a grim spreader

 

Humble apologies didn't look at RoddersUK's pics.
No wonder thread took a weird direction.
Sorry for my stupid post above.

Must pay closer attention!

 

I don't know why I struggle not to say that it is definitely a plant!
...and I don't know if it is also a weed...
