Help identifying what I think is a weed...

Me again! I will soon be the sole poster on this board - I am full of questions!

I put some pansy seeds straight in the ground about a month ago and have left that area alone as I wasn't sure what they'd look like once they've grown. However, I've now got a carpet of what must be a weed. I removed a lot of this from other areas when I first took over my garden a couple of months ago. It grows low and spreads out fill the surface. It gets easily tangled with anything else trying to grow too.

Can you help me identify it? You can't see any pansies growing in there can you?! I have spotted what looks like a Lupin leaf on the top left, and there is another type of leaf close to that, as well as a dandelion (I think). Those taller leaves are bulbs I put in.

Why haven't my pansies grown?!

 

It looks to me like it could be chick weed .There is every chance there are Pansy seeds underneath it but could well be getting smothered...Chick weed does easily pull up but hang on for a more certain ID

 

I have already started pulling it up on the left to be honest, as I'd had enough of it and wanted to let that lupin and the other thing near it breathe. Don't know how the lupin got there!

 

Can you see that leaf on the top left (1st pic) with a bit of red in the middle? What is that?

 

Might be a Dog Violet next to the Lupin.

 

Definitely chickweed. If you know somebody with a canary or an aviary of birds they will love it!

 

Ok, I'm off to google Dog Violet... as long as it's not Japanese knotweed as it looks to me like the pictures I've seen. Then I have cause to panic!

Oh wow, I didn't know that!

 

Chickweed, lovely fried up in butter, with a bit of sea salt and pepper
