Plant ID x2

[Jonny.D]

I think this one is a weed because of the way it is spreading, coming up all over the place. It wasn't there last year so probably survived the composting process.




This one is growing a bit slower




TIA

I'm not sure about the first one, but I reckon the second is a willowherb.

[Jonny.D]

Is it a weed Martin and would it mind being dug up and put in a pot until I decide where to put it?

[Martin H]

Yeah, the second one is a weed.

[roitelet]

Yes it's a weed and will spread like mad if you don't control it.

I think they are both weeds. Based on the fact I keep pulling up similar on my plot. Not sure what they are though.

Agree with above for photo 2. Do the leaves smell of plant 1? Looks a bit like a mint.

Agree that Photo is a willowherb
Photo 1 - does it have long white roots - not deep, just belwo the surface? Spreading!

That's what I thought

Not sure about the first but that second pic looks like the weed I had loads of last year on the allotment - I was forever pulling it up It has pink flowers and is Broad-leaved Willowherb. It's just starting to grow now n my plot so I'm pulling it up as I pass

Seasonal Wild Flowers - Broad-leaved Willowherb

First a big thank you to everyone for replying


Thelma Sanders & WendyC no it's not mint.

VC - Yes to "Long white roots - not deep, just below the surface? Spreading!"

I've been pulling some up today. Not sure what it is but it spreads like mad. Never seen any flowers on it. Chuck it out
