Plant ID please :)

Have this spreading all over the empty plots we have. What is it please?

 

Is it wood avens (Geum Urbanum)?

 

I think it might be, I've got something similar in my garden total pest to be honest.
Dont let it flower.
Seems to be a bit glyphosate resistant as well.

 

I tend to leave it alone for the most part here once it is not interfering with the growth of anything else. I know the flowers are not as big as the cultivated types of Geum but they do seem to last a long time and I have noticed bees visiting them and since supporting wildlife is my main aim in the garden they are not the worst thing to have growing in my opinion. There are shady places in ditches that I have left some growing for a few years now and there is not much else would grow in these spots anyway. They do spread a bit so I also rip them out at times from places like the vegetable patch and they don't seem to be too difficult to pull out.

Happy gardening!

 

Its possible that I have something different then because it spreads everywhere, it appeared a few years ago and its now a pandemic.

 

Thanks for the answers everyone. I'll just pull bits up here and there as I go as it is nearly covering every bare patch I have.

 

I have that and I thought that it looked like a geum, I just pull it up I don't use any chemicals on my garden.
