I have a small front lawn that has quite a few small weeds appearing. I've
looked at various guides and the closest match appears to be Chickweed. Can
someone have a look at a couple of pictures:

and

and let me know if that's what it is?

Would a regular weed & feed product take car of it? I've just been pulling
them up so far but they appear to be spreading.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Yes, almost certainly chickweed.

Thanks David and Kay. :-)

It almost seems a shame to kill it off; I think it looks quite pretty. It's
apparently good to eat when cooked - anyone have any recipes?

In that case - leave it :-)
Tell people you have a wild flower lawn.

Other things that will grow in very short turf include veronica, with
blue flowers, and hop trefoil or birds foot trefoil, both with yellow
flowers.

Apparently some of our village cricket pitches are the last remaining
reserves of wild camomile - nowhere else gets the frequent show mowing
that the plant requires.
