    I have this mystery plant growing all over my garden. It has kept me on toes all over this summer to keep removing it regularly. Please advice if there is a way to make it stop growing in the next year.

    Looks to me like Chickweed .A fast growing annual ,so best to hoe off seedlings as soon as they appear , do this on a hot day and they will die off quickly ..this will stop plants generating more seed ..It will take a while but you will get on top of it

    I agree with Davey, hoe regularly in spring. Don't let them seed, ever!

    Chickweed! If you know someone that keeps foreign birds, they'll love it. :)
