Weed ID Please

I'm assuming it's a weed.....

Whatever it is it's encroaching on my sprout bed so it'll be going when I get back from our hols!

It is very pretty though  :nowink:



Snappy 

No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.

I could give up chocolate but I'm not a quitter.

Definately a cranesbill - Geranium sp

Should dig out easily enough though there may be a few seedlings spring up - not a real problem
Playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order!

it is a geranium.
so technically not a weed, unless it's where you don't want it in which case it is a weed.
they self-seed.

To hijack this thread

I have an overseas friend who loves gardening and took over the garden in her rented accommodation. She'd never seen bindweed before and when she showed me around her garden she'd trained it up specially made bamboo wigwams!!!

Does this stop bindweed being a weed?

a weed is only a wild flower growing in a place you don't want it to  :D
Staffies are softer than you think.
