  • PS If you don't like them, don't let the seed!

  • Leave the grey one. Dig out and move the frilly one. They are probably self seeded. They might be garden border perennials or they might have been part of a wild flower border. Neither look like obviously 'weedy' weeds. Wait and see!

  • having just looked at the photo, I think the slender grass like leaves are crocus , because of the 2 different shades of green stripes.  the greyish leaves are mullein or golden rod ,

    ....  the greyish leaves are mullein or golden rod ,

    They might well be mullein (verbascum) but they're not Golden Rod (solidago). image

    and I still think Forester's right about the sedge, that looks like a triangular shape with reflected light to me rather than different colours

    Could the divided leaf plant be Herb Robert

    Hi Bilje, that's one of my most prolific visitors, I don't think so.

    That's another one with a very distinctive pong.

    Peanuts, are you there? Have you had a scratch and sniff?

    The greyish/green 1 looks like lambs ears. is it soft when you rub the leaf?

    Grey one isn't a weed. I think not Lamb's Ears as leaves too wide, probably verbascum.

    Frilly one looks like a weed I dig up regularly that smells a bit carroty. Could it be wild carrot? See photo.

    I have a weed similar to the frilly one in the picture, if you leave it you get tiny pink airy flowers, have no idea what it is though.
