Hi,

I am new to this forum. I have been growing for about 7 years, had a allotment for 2 and half years.

I have noticed this growing on my path in my front garden. Does anyone know what it could be?

Welcome CariAnn88!

What are you going to do with it? Quite attractive in it's own right but you could pull it & use that step to put in something fragrant that you step on & make it release the scent. No space should be wasted - lots of herbs would love that warm spot!

Sorry I was a bit brief. That's a good suggestion Westi. If clover gets established it's hard to get rid of.

I am not sure what I can do with it. If I can move it from the path then I might stick it into a pot. A clover seed most of got blown into my garden. I don't grow clover and I have no clover plants near my house.

I'd give it a squirt of weed killer, the strong stuff that kills the roots too.
