I have a weed I think coming up in my garden that looks like a Geranium with tiny pink flowers which has a vile smell when you pull it out and it’s coming up everywhere.  Any ideas?

Not a brilliant pic but I think you can see it reasonably well.

THanks for that.  I will choose to think of it as a weed! As for the ‘disagreable’ smell, I agree it’s horrible.

It is very easy to pull out.
I have a patch tumbling over a wall and it is quite attractive so left it alone.

The plant is Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum) and is a pest mainly by seeding around.

I rubbed some of the leaves over my arms the other day as it is supposed to repell insects.  Didn’t seem to work though and I stank as a result!!!
