    Hard to tell frm pics but looks like Hairy Bitter Cress. It's an annual weed that can be very invasive. Don't let it seed!

    Many thanks for the reply. It appears to be a kind of cress alright.
    Is there any permanent cure?

    Unfortunately not. You'll see it popping up in all kind of places. It's easy enough to kill so you could use an earth friendly weedkiller or just keep pulling or hoeing them. As I say, don't let it seed.

    Thanks again for your help, I think I have it all pulled out and hoed now. Bloody nightmare!
    It's all over flower beds I put in new this time last year at a house I have let. I havn't been back enough to look at the them as the tenants
    said they'd keep everything watered and weeded.
    It was topsoil I bought and spread last year on weedblock before planting the flowers and small shrubs.

    No bother. I'd imagine it came in with the plants, as that's how it usually starts. 1 plant one year and 500 the next!
