Can you identify this plant/weed please?

Its new to me. I cannot identify it.

Oops! Having reread your post, I note it’s the only plant so you could probably dig it out. Sorry

No no don’t dig it! Spray the leaves with glyphosate. Paint it on leaves where it grows into valued plants. Don’t be disheartened, you can eradicate it.

..yes that's exactly what it is..wild angelica!!

Shown it to DH. He says it's wild angelica.

From your first picture it looked like field parsley leaves to me. From the same family of umbellifers as angelica.

Don’t panic! I think it’s wild Angelica.

Here's the RHS advice about ground elder. The picture looks just like Shysal's to me.

..hadn't finished..it doesn't look like the ground elder that I'm plagued with in my garden..

I don't know what it is but it isn't ground elder!!

Many thanks, that is not good news. It seems to be the only plant so hopefully it can be successfully dug out.

Ground elder. It keeps creeping under the fence from next doors unkempt garden and appears in my organic veg garden. I just hoe it regularly and any I pull out goes into the kitchen waste bin and does not go onto the compost heap.

Yup - I agree. It goes everywhere as it has underground roots. I just pull it up, but it really needs treating at root level either by digging up the whole bed or using chemicals.

In my garden I would also say this is ground elder. I pull it up and have been known to use roundup. It has gone now, but you have to be vigilant. I also have a varigated form in a border, but this hot weather seems to have done for it. Hope it will reappear next year!

Yes, it looks rather like ground elder, I’m afraid.

And me!

Sorry shysal but I thought ‘ground elder’ even before I enlarged your photo
