I've always known that as Fox and Cubs, but I think it is one of the hawkweed family.

Well done New Shoot, you've managed to get two correct identifications for the price of one - Orange Hawkweed or Fox and Cubs will do for me!  ;)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

At the risk of making myself look silly, are they not Potentilla ?    Mrs Bouquet

They are a bit smaller than Potentilla Mrs B and the flowers cluster together at the top of the stems.  They are great for insects but do spread like mad, so usually get classed as weeds, rather than wild flowers.  They are pretty though  :)

Not a weed as someone originally planted it, but I don't know what this shrub is. Does anyone know?

Thanks. It needs to come out, as it is blocking late afternoon/evening sunlight to the greenhouse.

I would like to find out this weeds name, in the last 2 years it has spread low and rapid in one part of the garden.

Looks a bit like creeping buttercup to me.  Is the area quite a damp part of the plot?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

It is damp, and very shaded except for about 1-2 hours. But on the top of that, last year I managed to grow a few of those really small orange colour pumpkin through and on top of it, the ground is so poor quality in general, with stone and brick parts and rubbish it quite surprised me that they grew.

It is a ranunculus, but it is a big family of plants.  Creeping buttercup is Ranunculus repens, but the leaves don't look right for that.

It's stubborn, whatever it is. If the pumpkin do ok this year, I will stop trying to control it, just move the plants around a bit and hope for the best.

Hi

I've just taken on one part of a newly split plot.  Mine used to be the 'flower garden' area.  So I'm not sure if these are weeds or a plant I'd regret binning!

Please could someone tell me what they are?
Thanks

PS: Apologies, but the picture's upside down!  Not sure why, because it's the right way up when I load it...

It looks like Borage to me, which has pretty blue flowers - but seeds around like crazy!

Thanks, Mum!

I never thought of borage - I wondered about comfrey.  At any rate, I don't have to dig a big nasty out immediately.  I can leave it be for the moment.

Another up-side is I won't need to plant any borage seeds  :D Well, unless I decide to see if some old ones  I found for white flowered borage germinate...  (I already have the Pimms!  :lol: )
