Never heard of this until recently as there is a problem in our area with it and im unsure whether i have it in my garden or not. I'd really appreciate having a look at the photos attached and letting me know if i have a problem. Many thanks.

Thanks for that. I always wondered what it was called. It's a total pain to have in the garden.
Anyway, looks like it's edible http://www.northernbushcraft.com/plants/fireweed/notes.htm
