Hi, can anyone tell me what this is. There's tons of them popping up in our garden. I thought initially they may be primrose but im now thinking it could be just weeds?

    Does it smell of lemon?

    I was wondering about comfrey... but they do look quite like foxgloves...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Ah ok. Well we did have foxgloves in the garden last year so it could be those reseeding!  Will see how they get on.. Cheers.  

    They don't smell of lemon. I checked yesterday :)

    Foxgloves almost certainly. Mine self seed greatly in my light, sandy soil. Quite easy to dig up and replant where you want them.

    Foxgloves ... they're biennial so this year while they're still small you can move them about to where you want them to be, so if you've got thick patches thin them out and transplant some ... next spring they'll be getting ready to flower  :)
