I put some pots of dwarf raspberries out of the way in about July, and forgot about them. Now, as well as the raspberries, there is this plant (and a shedload of weeds!) and I'm hoping that somebody here can identify it for me.

It's probably a weed, but I quite like it (and there is loads of it in all of the pots of rasps), so I'm hoping it's something I can pot up and grow on for my new shade garden. Thanks on advance!

Herb Robert?

It’s herb Robert. Technically a weed from the geranium family but very pretty!

Pretty but stinky.

You won't need to pot it up, once you've got it it pops up all over the bloody place no matter how much you pull it up. At least it's easy to pull up. It does stink though.

You’re in a minority. Another name for it is Stinking Bob

I think it smells nice too 👍

It spreads like wildfire, OP. I'm very partial to a bit of Herb Robert so don't mind, but it drives my neighbour crazy.
