    Can anyone help identify this please? It's growing in the middle of the Aquilegias and the leaves are similar.

      Thank you. From what I've Googled it's quite invasive so I'll do away with it as it's contained at the moment in a trough.

        Can small courgettes which have stopped growing and are slightly soft be eaten?

        What do you do if you see this growing in your garden or on a public footpath
