Yes It's ground elder. Have the same problem .Nasty little plant. Hard
work to get rid of without resorting to spraying. Suggest something
like "roundup" which only works on the green plant and de-acivates when
touching bare soil. May need two or three applicatiopns to eradicate.
Best of luck

Agreed. I've had the same experience. YOu really need to forego any
planting for a couple of years, and keep applying round up every time
it shows up for that period. I now find the very odd few peeking up
among planted beds, but theyare easy enough to handle, provided you
take them out early, and provided you take every last little bit of
their roots!
Well worth doing, there *is* life after ground elder :-)
