Invasive Plant (?) Crowding Out My Mint

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

This plant (brighter green) is crowding out my mint in my outdoor herb garden. Any idea what it might be?

    Chickweed, Stellaria media. It is an annual weed and very easy to pull out. And IME, it can't hold a candle to the growth of mint, once that starts going for the season!!
