    Can anyone help identify this plant. Sorry the photos aren’t too good but it’s very small. At every leaf joint there seems to be a heart shaped bud(?) and it does seem to be spreading so I’m thinking, weed. Thought it might be Chickweed but not sure

    I think I have lots of it too.
    No idea what it is though - I've been pulling it up

      I'd leave it but then I'm not into green deserts.
