I am not a garden person but I would love to get in to it. I have came across a cup please of things I found going under the kids trampoline. It doesn't look like my everyday weeds I get. One of them looks a bit like dill but no taste or smell of dill.

If you can get to a pc you can post a pic by clicking on the green tree icon on the toolbar above where you type your post and follow the instructions - no idea how to do it from a phone - not even sure if you can - think that's being worked on.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Ah h. here we go. thank you Dovefromabove. (love the name. Reminds me of shooting stars many years ago).
Now i am on my PC i will put the photos on.
I think the first one is fennel and the second one looks like a geranium.
Fennel has a very strong aniseed scent, has it got that Neil?

Hi Neil
Big Shooting Stars fans here 
Plus our garden's full of pigeons and doves 
Agree that the second looks like a geranium, but don't think the first is fennel - the structure looks wrong to me. Fennel has a very angular structure with 'branches' going off alternate sides, then the ferny leaves having leaflets in opposite pairs.
I'm wondering if it's Nigella aka Love in a Mist

I have replanted them at the side of the garden and I guess I will just see what it grows up to be. But at least I now know that it ain't just weeds.
More photos might help, as they grow rather than in hand.
Can you count the petals on the second one please?
I don't think the top one is nigella.

I'd go with nut for the first, Nigella.
Could it be cosmos? I know it's a bit early ....
