Weeds or flowers?

Been digging my way through a jungle last week or so and have finally got out all that I know to be weeds, however, these three plants looked sort of nice and I just don't know if they are weeds or flowers. Any help gratefully received. image

  • Third one, looks like it should be climbing it has little tails on it to cling on with.

  • Second one wood aven maybe?

  • Or water aven.

  • Thanks, (2nd one)  have got quite a few of this in other parts of the garden, probably not right for this bed then, but at least I know what it is. Happy for it to grow in my wild wood bit.

    Watch that wood avens the seeds stick to everything and they're soon everywhere.

    3 is a pea or vetch

    1 looks familiar, can't put a flower on it. I don't think it's a weed though

  • Get rid of both 1 & 3 then you think?

  • I'm getting rid of aven in my garden as it swamps other things and the flowers are pretty noneexistent

     2nd one is wood avens, very common here, insignificant yellow flower, but seeds are a nuisance, as has been said.

    3rd is some sort of pea, but can't tell if it's a weed one or a plant one.

    First one doesn't look like a weed. Could it be arabis?

    That's funny, I wrote first one first!
