This is spread out over 3-4 metres, about knee high and has a lot of weeds growing through it (which I've started to uproot). Not sure if this should be taken as well. Can anyone please identify it??

    It's Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum), a wild cranesbill:

    Many (like me) consider it a weed, but some grow it on purpose.  It's easy to pull-up but seeds itself everywhere, so it will be back even if you want to remove it!

     

     

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    You will stand a better chance of removing this weed if you dig it up before it drops seed
