hi
At last it's warm enough for me to venture back in the garden and tidy away all the mess.
I have come across some new plants growing in my raised beds and was wondering if you could identify them please.
I know I have loads of baby fox gloves and wondered whether I should dig them up and replant them somewhere sheltered until next year - been told they are biannual.
Any help is gratefully received.

1) Looks like sweet rocket - definitely worth keeping.
2) Looks like foxglove seedlings (on the left) and something else I can't think of right now.
3) Not sure but could be one of the willowherbs - I'd probably have that one out as it looks sick anyway.
4) Geum. If you didn't plant any geums, it will be Geum urbanum (aka wood avens), the invasive weed variety. You could leave it - if it grows small yellow flowers it is the weedy variety and you can hoik it out sharpish!
You can transplant the foxglove sedlings to somewhere you want them to flower next year.
