| I'm having trouble identifying this weed. It grows like a mat on the ground and over rocks/barriers, very shallow roots, very small white flowers, long thin leaves. I live in central Connecticut. |

| Galium, sometimes called velcro weed. See all those buds? That means flowers, then seeds. Lots! |

| We call it "bedstraw" but still looks like carpetweed to me. Bedstraw is fuzzy, with no sheen. Doesn't match the OP's picture. OP, straighten us out. hortster |

| I agree with Jean....Galium aparine. |

| i have the same thing all over the cracks in my paver patio! |

| Galium aparine is what I think it is. That is not the same as Sweet Woodruff, which is Galium odoratum. Common names here are Goosegrass, Cleavers and Sticky Willy. |
