    Can anyone identify this wee interloper that has made itself comfortable in a crack in the concrete between the path and the front wall of the house?

    Looks like it - its the only one I have seen, and is in a relatively 'safe' position (all concrete slabs, where it just happens to have found a crack in the mortar), and no sign of flowering so I should be able to whip it out over the weekend.

    Thanks

      Remember this wee fellow?

      Well, I decided a reprieve would cause no harm, and now things are warming up its got a bit of a gallop on. Still don't have a clue what it is?

      Looks like Wood Avens - should have small yellow flowers.

        Yes- get rid! Self seeds everywhere and can't just be pulled up.

          Yes if you can't dig it out. I'm digging mine out, it grows anywhere- even through other perennials, in gravel, the lawn...argh!
