Thank you, you are all so fast. Thank you Dove, I only just found it, I will have to see if I can revive it. After posting these pictures I'm going to look into all the plants I've found out about and see how best to care for them.
Here goes another, I'll number from now on in case it gets confusing...No 5..
This is a tiny little plant coming up everywhere...
The finely leaved one coming up everywhere looks like self-seeded love-in-a-mist (Nigella.) You can ust pull it up from where you don't want it, but it's a very attractive cottage-garden annual.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
If its coming up everywhere I would go with nigella. Thin them to about 6 inch apart. Last year we had someone with a carrot seedling that turned out to be cosmos. Its a good guessing game at this time of year.
Think you're right Bob. The little bit of foliage right at the bottom left of the pic looked so familiar but I just couldn't place it. Haven't grown them for years.
Pruning will depend on the individual plants you have Jack unless you want to remove something completely. There's a house near me which has a hydrangea in the front garden. I've passed it regularly for over fifteen years and it's never had a flower on it because it's constantly pruned at the wrong time of year - they chop off all the flowering stems! I've often thought of putting a note through the door
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Oh, I hope that is Honeysuckle, I wanted on of those, and it is hedge sized!
Looks like you may have a bit of pruning and relocating to do Jack!
Not sure of that last one but it looks like something I should know. Will get thinking cap on

Yes, I have a lot of pruning to do
I'm assuming I hold off on this for a few weeks yet though?

Thanks Bob and Fidget! I like the sound of that love in a mist, I like self seeding things that spring up and surprise you.
Yes I thought it might be a difficult time for working out what these smaller ones are. They are literally all over the borders.
