This is the second garden where I have experienced these small, green
plants growing, in a tightly-clustered way, around small fruit such as
raspberries and red/white/black currents.
Often they are even tighter together than this photo shows.
Anyone - what are they?
(I never let them get big enough to be able to take a photo of any
flower.)

Second question, since glyphosate is absorbed by leaves (and not by
woody
material), is it safe to spray them with glyphosate and not damage the
fruit bushes ?
Thanks to and for this active group.

They look a bit like broadleafed willowherb. I get them but just pull them
up.
I'd be more worried about what is popping up to the left of it -
suspiciously like ground elder.

I don't think it's any form of willowherb to much of a clump for that
I'd say.

I think you are wrong. what do you think it is, then? You get clumps where
the seeds fall.
I am reasonably certain it is broadleaved willowherb. I get it in my garden
all the time and I am very familiar with it.
