    I've got quite a bit of this stuff growing in my garden. It seems to be easy enough to pull out, but what is it ? Anyone please ?

    Its Herb Robert, Geranium robertianum aka Stinking Bob

    According to point of view it's an attractive wildflower or a weed. It pulls up or hoes off easily if you don't want it but beware if you leave it - it sedds freely

    I have a white flowered form which is very attractive
