Just had a look at chicory leaves....I don't think it's that either. Ooh....a tricky one to keep us guessing.

I'd really like to know what that first one in with the pansies is. It looks almost like a wild lettuce.

Bloomin' wood avens is useless! No good as a tortoise food, nasty tiny flowers and the dam thing send down a tap root as well. Needs a fork to dig it out completely. There is water avens as well - also a rubbish plant that's good for nothing.

I'll be getting shot of it this weekend, Jonathan.
That first one really is a puzzler. I'm still on the case....
