Weed/Plant IDs pretty please

ethelandedna · 16-03-2011, 07:08 PM

I'm starting to clear an area of the garden for Pebble's enclosure but don't know if some of the plants there are worth leaving or if they're dangerous.

Please can someone help?

I think this one has long thin stems with yellow flowers on if memory serves, but I'm not sure.

I think this may be forget-me-nots. The leaves are slightly hairy and there are clumps everywhere!

Could this be chickweed? I know there's not a lot to see but one or two of the leaves near the bottom left are starting to get some shape to them.

No. 4 Varigated Nettle, not sure need's confirmation, but i think it could be a Henbit relative. This is why i have never fed it

No3 as said the tiny plantlet is Speedwell, there's another plant in there with larger leaves.

Think the other plant could be more forget-me-nots. The long narrow leaf is a bulb (poss bluebells) which I've got to dig out. There are loads of 'em
