Hi. I know it can be difficult to identify these things - especially at the start of their growth - it can even be difficult to take clear photos with my non exactly macro lens camera and all the various growths blending in with each other - wild - but here goes.

Can anyone identify any of these?








Thanks.

    1.  Alliaria petiolata ..common name Garlic mustard.
    7..  Trifolium...common name Clover.
    Maybe trifolium repens.

    I was only just thinking about trying to plant some wild garlic to grow under the trees amongst the bluebells.

    Though I am not liking the sound of this garlic mustard. Especially the bit they have bolded on the internet search summariser.  :o



    I take it I should dig up immediately before it grows any bigger?

    @skankinpickle I would treat it as a weed personally. For every weed some one loves another gardener hates[ their are some obvious exceptions]
    2 Could be achillea, some are more garden worthy than others. They have the ability to put nutrients into soil to help other plants.
    5 Could be Fox and Cubs.
    4 An umbellier, there are thousands.
    3 This is familiar but as a weed probably more than acceptable in a wild garden
    6 A grass or could be a corn.
    Not the words 'could be' perhaps to early to be sure   
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

     I am hoping number 6 is something not so nasty as there are loads of them blending in with the grass.  :o

    @skankinpickle If that is happening you may want to get rid before you have a real problem. Having looked again it does look like grass. Hadn't realised that corn is a kind of grass[ no idea why I hadn't realised that whoops]

    Ooops! Meant to say I hope number 5 is not anything nasty as there are several of them.

    There are only a few of number 6. Mainly on the outskirts of the er...."meadow" area  :*
