not sure if its a weed but its driving me CRAZY, its a low growing
heartshaped leaf with a very small purple flower in early spring.

and it has taken over ALL OF MY GARDEN, it grows through all of my
rockery plants and even tries to climb up my low growing
roderdenrons, it has taken over my pot plants and everyspace it can ,
i have lived in the same house for 34 years and i have never had this
problem before .

It's not ground ivy, Glechoma hederacea, is it? See, for example:

If so, it's a common wild plant, and is fairly easy to remove by
pulling, but murder to get stop from taking over. It has a
fairly strong smell when the leaves are crushed.
