What's this? I have a lot of it in my garden, and I want to know if it's edible (and therefore worth keeping) or not (and therefore I should treat it as a weed).

If you break the stem, does it have bright yellow/orange sap?
If Yes: it's a particularly pernicious weed that'll spread like crazy.

If no... got a wider picture of the plant?

Looks like a type of Ranunculus (Buttercups) to me.

Hard to tell exactly, but it looks like a plant I had growing in my herb garden until recently. It started off looking a lot like cilantro or parsley, but then became obviously not, so I pulled it.

I believe it is something called jewel weed.

Thanks for posting this; we have it in our garden too (in the wilds of Central PA) and I'd been wondering about it. I've now gone an pulled what I could. It's growing pretty much around and through the links in our fences that we share with the neighbors.
