Hi.  Does this look familiar to anyone? Seems to have snuck into one of my borders.

    Redshank an annual weed often found in arable fields ... a member of the Persicaria family https://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/weeds/redshank

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Thats pretty impressive @Dovefromabove

    Thanks for the tip.  I can see the persicaria resemblance and knowing how that romps away in my garden I will be tearing this out straight away!

    I grew up on a farm
    and as a child i spent a lot of time in the fields after school, hoeing annual weeds out of rows of sugar beet ... I’m quite good at annual weeds of East Anglian arable fields 😂
