First year gardening, so there are more mysterious weeds/plants growing in the garden than the new ones we bought.... Could you please help ID? Thanks!
Plant #1: Some sort of bramble? It's got thorns and even a bit of green flowers (in the first pic)? Wonder if it will bear fruits...
Plant #2: Two of the same kind. Look like kale but I'm pretty they are not....
Plant #3: Looks quite common but don't know the name...
Plant #4: Got purple stems, and one is starting to have some pink flower buds on top

2. Ive never grown Kale , looks a bit like ragwort.
3. Looks like a tree sucker.
4. & 5. Types of Willowherb.
#1 Bramble: It was covered by the thick ivy so we didn't see it flower, and not sure if it'll bear fruit. But given that it's not really in the way of anything and not a huge bush yet we'll probably keep it for now and see what happens, cut back when needed
#2 Ragwort: Will get rid of it
#3 Raspberry: Will keep it, though it's currently growing under a palm tree and in the most shady part of the garden. Will see if it bears fruit this year and consider moving it to another location
#4 Willowherb: Will keep it for the flowers for now but consider pulling some up later on... seems to be very invasive...
