Surely a weed

This is coming up so quickly and in so many places in my shady border that it must be a weed - but what is it?! I've looked at the Know Your Weeds photos and can't seem to match it up there.

Thanks

iwould also be interested in an id for this, im sure ive got loads of these in my garden too.. they've really grown fast the last few days, thinking its all the rain were having

Yes it's a weed
Ziggy will come up with the actual id, but definitely a weed - I don't even consider it a flower in the wrong place, it's just a pain.

 

Been doing a bit of research (i.e. Googling loads of photos) and I think it could be some kind of willowherb. This would make sense as I did have this in the garden last year and let some of it stay because I thought it was quite pretty. As you say, Gill, the rain seems to have encouraged these in the last few days. What with these the all the ground ivy I pulled up the other day I'm being kept busy!

 

Sorry, I looked at this yesterday, my first thoughts were Hairy Willow Herb, but I didn't get around to looking it up on account of doing Dad stuff.

 

No worries Ziggy. More weeding at the weekend then...

 

They're an inoffensive sort of weed- not pretty enough to bother keeping but not too difficult to pull up either.
