i have these two plants come up but i don't know what they are, the soil has thrown up random vegetables before as they must have come with the soil or i could have sown them and forgotten.......
are figwort & alkanet weeds? the one bob thinks is alkanet there about about 30 seedling all close together in one spot & the one nut thinks is figwort i have about 6 plants in the same 10ft bed but they are spaced out, in the 2nd blurry photo you can just see the stems purple/green.
thank you all, i will remove them tomorrow then, didn't want to pull up the alkanet ones until i knew they were weeds for sure as they look quite nice like plants (if you know what i mean)

I think the first is figwort

Last one looks like alkanet.
here's some clearer photos as my phone camera for some reason isn't functioning clearly.
Not sure, but I don't think you want them there.

The alkanet is more of a bother as it seeds everywhere and has very deep roots which grow back if you leave any behind.
Figwort is relatively easy to remove. Both considered weeds by most people.
Those little alkanets will be fairly easy to remove while small

they are nice, they just don't know when to stop
I have them in my garden but that's big and wild.

yes unfortunately i don't have room for big & wild, every space is precious so they will have to go.
thank you all as usual for your help
