Hi all

I have noticed this in my garden, I think it is a weed.
Would anyone be able to identify it?

Thanks in advance.

    Yes ... chickweed .... and a stinging nettle. 😊

    Hi all

    Thanks for the responses :)
    Some parts have purple flowers, is this also chickweed?

    The pinky mauve flowers are Red Dead Nettle ... usually regarded as a weed, but bumble bees love it so it’s good for a Wild Patch. https://www.plantlife.org.uk/uk/discover-wild-plants-nature/plant-fungi-species/red-dead-nettle

    Dont worry about asking ... we all started once and some are further along the road than others. 😊
