Geoff, you're determined to get asters or penstemons into my garden aren't you? Aster would be more likely than penstemon, as I seem to remember planting one which never came up, but I thought it was in a different place. (By the way, the others turned out to be sweet william).
Smudge, you are right about the first one, I think it is the rather cutely named mouse-eared hawkweed, which is described as "a serious weed" (probably because it reads a lot), although it does have medicinal properties apparently.
You sneaked in with that post while I was writing, Geoff. I did sow some phlox seeds last year, but labeled them, and none of them have come up where the labels are...strange... . The flowers will reveal all in due course...

Based on past form I am probably wrong but the first one is definitely a green plant, the second one either some form of aster or a penstemon
Prize?
The first one looks like Mouse-eared Hawkweed Pilosella officinarum.
The 2nd one im not too sure about because of the angle, however i thought it might be Rose Bay Willow Herb, but the leaves seem a bit wide.
Any chance you could break a bit off and see if its bleeds white latex..? as it might be a Spurge.
Don't know about the first one, but the second one looks like phlox seedlings to me.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Having just gone outside and looked at my phlox-now tend to agree that the 2nd one is phlox-rubbish at this

The second one is definitely rose bay willow herb get rid of it quick or it will be everywhere!!
First one is Mouse eared hawkbit ( grim the collier ) and second is Phlox.
Almost certain
1st looks like Hawkweed I agree, known as Fox & Cubs around these parts..
The 2nd certainly looks like a Phox to me too, leaves look very like Paniculata to me..
