Any ideas what this might be? Looks like coriander or French parsley but has no smell. It is everywhere :(

Feverfew?

Looks like it might be creeping buttercup

It looks like parsley, and I'm going to suggest cow parsely (which is after all a giant relation of parsley) as it is VERY enthusiasitc about seeding itself around.

I agree looks like flat leaf parsley to me. Pick a bit and smell it

WobblyLondoner · 23/10/2022 17:13

Thanks. It doesn't smell. Wouldn't that rule out feverfew too??

It's really weird - I've not grown any of the suggestions here and there is just so much of it!

Looks like feverfew.

Should have said, I really don't think it's creeping buttercup.

Could it be celery??

Not creeping buttercup, I’ve got a lawn full!

Too many leaflets for creeping buttercup, not Feverfew. It’s an umbellifer, but doesn’t look quite right for cow parsley. Could be, though.

Feverfew has an unmistakable strong smell.

If you can't identify it, don't eat it - there are one or two members of the umbellifer family that are toxic.
