Name That Plant!

mystery plant

9 years ago

This plant has been appearing for the last number of years as a weed in my mother in law's veg garden, in southern Ireland. It is an annual and self seeds, flowering in August and smells strongly of a cross between cannabis and thyme. Please help, noone seems to be able to identify it.It grows between one foot to two or even three feet high. This is a close up photo of the leaves and flowers, I can upload a photo of the whole plant if that would be more useful, please help, thanks
