It looks like hedge garlic (alliaria petiolata - had to look that up!

) to me chrism , I have it here as it's very good for butterflies especially orange tips & small whites. It's supposed to be edible, a bit like wild garlic but I've never tried it.

It has a strong garlic smell when crushed, SueA, so I’m happy to let it be.

I would have thought ‘weed’ and pulled it out. It is now an interesting weed.
