    Hello all

    I am trying to do small bits in the garden as and when I am able and I keep coming across this weed:

    2018-06-01 14.05.48.jpg

    All are not this size, this one was found creeping under the shed, most are small and growing close to the ground.

    Could someone please let me know what this is and more importantly, how to get rid of it once and for all?

    Thanks in advance

    Kevin

    It's a wild geranium Kevin. An annual that spreads itself around fast. Try not to let it flower. It pulls out easily or you can spray with weedkiller. :)

      Hello @Verdun

      Thanks for the reply.

      If I pull it will leaving any part of the root cause it to grow again or will it not grow back?

      Thanks in advance

      Kevin
