    Hello,

    i've noticed this everywhere in my garden and I'm curious to know exactly what it is. It has the sort of structure and spread of clover but the leaves have a strange shape to them. I'm guessing it might be a weed?

    Smells like minty cat wee, makes a very good tea for soothing a bad chest.
