First one is the white flower (for scale it is about the size of your average thumbnail.

Loads of picture 2 growing in the "wildflower meadow" but also in other areas so probably not something from the seed mixes I sowed in the last 2 years. It is growing 40cm-60cm tall currently.

The 3rd one (3 pics) is some kind of big grass thing, it is 7 foot tall

    I'm pretty sure the first one is a white Linum (flax).
    The second is Rumex acetosa, common or sheep's sorrel.
    Sorry, don't know the 7-foot grass thing...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    The first photo looks like a Corncockle (Agrostemma) possibly.

    Hiya,
    I'm not even going to try to name any of your pictures but I recently found a site that may well help you and save a lot of people a lot of time and effort.
    It's the RHS plant identifier - https://www.rhs.org.uk/my-account/identify-plants - and all you do is to upload a photo of a flower or leaf and their identifier will find the nearest match - which is usually correct.
    Works wonders for me!
    Cheers,
    Chris
