Hope photo attaches!
Small white pods, a few clustered together on each stalk. I can’t remember what the flowers looked like unfortunately.

I’m in Germany if that makes any difference.
Thank you to anyone who can help!

Looks like it could be ragged Robin. Can you remember if it had little purple flowers?

Oooh it may well have done. I’ve just looked up ragged robin, going to check if the seeds are the same now.

Sadly not. The seeds are brown and an elongated teardrop shape, and if what I’ve found about ragged robin is correct then they are round and black.

They do look familiar...

Maybe ask in the Gardening section, there's bound to be someone there who will know.

Common nipplewort?

Blimey, I should have got that. My garden is covered in it!

There's a great app called Pl@ntNet.

We moved a couple of years ago and it's helped us to identify lots of things growing in the garden.

I have a Plant ID app but it couldn’t identify this correctly.
