Hi is anyone able to ID either of these plants and tell me if they are weeds lol? The tall ones I’ve left cause they actually fill a space but no idea if they are actually a weed 😆

    The first one looks sort of cabbagey

    First one looks like rapeseed, possibly from birdseed.  Second one is Chenopodium album, a weed that seeds like crazy and is going berserk in my garden this year with all the rain.

    @fidgetbones thank you, that makes sense as I have a bird feeder on the fence just above this. Should I pull it out?
    The chenopodium should I pull it out do you think? I didn’t think it looked terrible but don’t want to look like a crazy person growing weeds in my flower beds 🤣😬

    just had a google and yeah think I will pull it up 🙈 thanks for the ID

    Yes, pull it out before it takes over the whole garden.

    @Obelixx will do. I still have so much to learn 🙃 although my grandpa was round just recently and he’s usually very good at knowing these things with his lifetime of experience and knowledge and he didn’t know it was a weed either so I don’t feel quite so silly lol.

    Get it out before it seeds.
