Firstly  I'd  mention this bed is close to next door's bird feeder  
Pretty sure 2 won't be a keeper  but what about 1&3?

    1 and 3 look geranium like to me

    2 is a sow thistle, weed.
    1 and 3 look the same, think it's a weed. 3 Has some chickweed in the middle, also possibly herb Robert and a dead nettle top right.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    I agree 1_and 3 are the same but one looks like it will have red/ pink or purple flowers. There's a fine selection of weeds there @Busy-Lizzie.
    @TheGreenMan they don't look quite right or geranium to me but it would be good if you're right. They have more of a mallow look to me but that would be nice too.

    Slipping down the page. Has anyone else for a suggestion?

    Difficult one. At first I thought was malva neglecta, but that has hairy leaves. It's got to be a sort of geranium; the fact that is near a bird feeder tells a lot. We really don't know what they put in those fat balls, at least the cheap ones I buy. I would plant it in a pot and see what happens with the flowers.

    Thank you @coccinella. I'm going to weed around them and see what they turn into. You're right about the bird feeder. Mostly seeds of a grassy plant get dropped in my garden . Easy to spot and pull out.

    Agree more feathery plant in first photo looks like Herb Robert. 
  • B3B3 Posts: 27,505
    Thank you @alfharris8. Any ideas about the other one?
