    Anybody knows what is this plant?

    It's kind of everywhere in the garden. Las year I had cut it early with the grass. This year when I looked at it. I thought that it might be wild strawberry. I let it grow and see what happens but I think that its not strawberry. I've put some pictures there. Not sure if its clear but I have a close up of the berry type of initial fruit thing.. They've been like that for a while now and if you press it a bit the spikey looking things come out and look like seeds. The plant had yellow flowers in the beginning.

    Anyone has an idea of what it is?

      It's a pain to get rid of @N.N - it's a bit like a chameleon and not noticed in my crowded borders until the flowers come out.

        Thanks a lot for the link. Interesting plant. Need to read more to see what uses it may have and how I could use it. Apparently you can eat the leaves, the roots have clove aroma and it has been used medicinally but I guess more research is needed.

        Yeah it kind of make out of nowhere and before I could tell it was everywhere.

        Yeah will try to cut the seed pods before all the garden is full of these. I have the same problem with Green Alkanet. The flowers attract a lot of bees and insects but need to be careful cause if you let it seed on the ground is game over.
