Common meadow plant

Loads of this around but don't know what it's called:

Looks like creeping buttercup?

What Dwardo said

 

[spandit]

Cool. Should be pretty later on, then

Yup pretty little yellow flowers.

Yup pretty little yellow flowers.

Not when they are infest your veg patch!

Evil stuff - spray it off with a good pasture weedkiller - Grazeon or Headland Relay

I don't use chemicals. If I remember correctly this stuff is fine when dried in hay

 

[British Red]

Yeah its fine in hay - mildly toxic to some stock when green.

I applaud the "no chemicals" - we did to start with though - the damned stuff shades out grass and spreads - our little field was infested with it.

I howk it out with a tack lifter. You follow the runners and it's absolutely astonishing how much of it there can be smothering everything else in the grass

Pretty wee flowers, but not good grazing and really not good allowed to spread into any cultivated areas. Inedible, unlike the wild strawberries which spread themselves around in a similar fashion

cheers,

Seeing as how many rushes we have coming up, we have so little proper grass anyway. Good cover for wildlife, mind

Sounds like a field drain might be needed?

The spring that puts out around 3,000 gallons a day doesn't help, although I will be piping some of it away into a lake. Hoping the trees will start sucking it up a bit
