Hello gardeners. 

Can you tell me if these are plants or weeds?

And

Thank you, 
Mel

    The top two photos look like Pilosella Aurantiaca, Fox and Cubs plant. Some regard this as a weed, but it's a nice wild flower.

    Yes, @Borderline, that's exactly what it is. I like them but I might have to keep an eye on them as there are quite a few!

    Is it weird to be jealous of other peoples' weeds. Everyone seems to have better weeds than me :'(
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Haha @wild edges! Suffering from weed envy today? I have to admit that my weeds are quite pretty at the moment!

    The small blue ones are forget-me-nots, aren't they?  They are pretty but they do spread!  I had 3 last year.  Now have a garden full!  I've had to pull loads of them out to make room for other plants.

    Hi @somethingshortmate. Yes, they are, and very pretty but I will have to pull some up here too for the same reason. I'm realising now that although it is pretty, one whole bed is basically weeds! 🤣

    I also have a patch of what look like teeny tiny strawberries (for fairies?!). Does anyone know the name for these?

    Wild strawberries, I would imagine. Not very helpful, perhaps. Great ground cover, they will spread, lovely taste, lovers of dappled shade.
