hi 
it’s me again...two plants I don’t know what they are,the first one reminds me of a magnet out type plant,feels slightly succulent  and the second one reminds me of a sage,bit pungent....any help would be appreciated.

    The first picture looks like Broad Beans to me?
    The second is Sage (Salvia officinalis)

    Thanks for that,is sage something that’s better as a new plant,smells very strong,not like some sage I’ve had before.

    I think the first picture is Cerinthe - pendulous blue/purple flowers, big black seeds and tends to spread beautifully (if you like it).

    I wondered if the second one could be a phlomis?  It looks like there are some old flower spikes that are longer and thicker than I would expect on sage.

    I agree with Christine re the first, Cerinthe
    and the second, Sage, not Phlomis
