    Does anyone know what these are?





    Im thinking the blue flowers might me forget me nots but I cant remember sowing any. they were just clumps of leaves in the corner where I wanted to put something else and thought it was a shame to throw them out so put them down the bottom to see what would pop up

    Thanks guys

    I think you are correct, forget me nots. As kids we used to call them 'birds eyes'.

          The others could be willow-herb. Isn't the blue of the forget-me-not a beautiful colour?

            Forget-me-nots are like Marmite either love or hate them, me I leave them to grow amongst the nettles and pull them up in the veg beds.
            I'm with mothhawk on willow-herb its a bit invasive so I'd get rid.

                  I've got loads of forget-me-nots in my garden. Once they've finished flowering I pull them up, every single last one. But by that time they've dropped loads of seed, which will start growing in October. It comes up everywhere, so all I do is pull some up and move the rest around to where I want it before the end of winter.

                  This last winter I took a trayful down to the allotment and planted it under the blackberries. I won't need to do it again, it'll come back on its own and keep some of the less decorative weeds under control.

                    It does support elephant hawkmoths though, which might be a case for leaving some (though don't let it seed if you want to control it)

                      Forget-me-nots are annuals, so when they finish flowering they'll die down anyway, but they tend to get mildewed and look very scruffy, so whip them out and let something else show its glory. And as everyone says, they'll come up next year from the seeds, in fact you'll probably have baby plants about by the end of autumn. They'll take care of themselves, you don't need to do anything.
