To ask what these plants are?

[Stopthisshemozzle]

So we have moved house and the garden has some plants which I think might be veg or edible in some way.... can anyone enlighten me?

And these

I'm.rubbish at plants. I think we have the middle one, possibly ducmsky pink flowers, don't know if it's edible. Is the right one mint?? Pick and bit and sniff it.

1. Poppy
2. Aquilegia
3. I always think these are forget-me-nots but I think I'm wrong.

(I am merely an amateur so may be wrong, but these all self seed so are often seen)

Middle of second lot - primrose/primula? We have the first one too, don't know what it is but not food I don't think.

1. Euphorbia - toxic sap!

On your first post the middle one looks like aquilegia which is a pretty flower.

The second post first one might be euphorbia and the middle one I think is a primrose.

None are edible!

1. Primula (I think)
2. I think wallflowers

Top right pic is defo mint, rub a bit between your fingers

None of these would have been planted for food in fact many will have self seeded I think. I grow most of these, but not for food!

Forgot, the bottom right looks like a prolific weed we used to have in our old garden.

I'd say first one is poppies and I always call 3 forget me nots too (although it's not)

I don't think any are edible! 3rd and 4th are weeds in our garden. 2nd is aquilegia - pretty flower, but spreads easily like a weed. 5th is a primrose.

5 is I think a cowslip (which is a type of primula). I can never get these to grow in my garden so I am a bit envious of those :)

Don't think the top right one is mint, it looks a bit too leggy for that. As pps have said though, rub a leaf between your fingers and that will soon tell you. None are edible ones as far as I know

1 looks like either celery or a poppy
2 aquiligia, prob a pink one
3 not sure on the name, but we had it on our old place after I sowed borage. Does it have prickly stems? Its spreads like crazy. Bees love it, but I didn't.
4 spurge? The sap is an irritant
5 primrose
6 speedwell I think. It has tiny blue white flowers, self seeds

Hope that helps

I'm not sure (3) is mint - the flowers don't look familiar - but rubbing the leaves as kinkyafro suggests will tell you right away. If it is mint, dig it up and keep it in pots; it is rampant!

Sorry, cowslip, not primrose.

Oops, edit! 5 is either primula or a cowslip.

Number 3 with the blue flowers is blue alkanet which spreads like crazy and has really deep tough roots. We're gradually winning the battle against it. In front of the alkanet looks like mint - does it smell minty?

In my garden all of them would be weeds except for the middle pictures - top aquilegia and bottom primrose/primula.

I pull up the aquilegia though as mine are a horrid sludgy pink and they self seed like crazy.

1. Might be a brunnera?

Thanks everyone! That has given me a much better idea.
Glad I didn't dig in just yet!
Good news as it means I won't feel guilty taking it all out to make a lawn. :)

1 - Poppy,
2 - aquiliga,
3 - Salvia (I think),
4 - recognise but don't know name
5 - primrose
6 - weed.

Don't eat these plants, not edible! (Tho primrose may be, not sure).

Oh yes, just get rid before they start seeding all over the place. If you like the little primrose dig it out and put it in a pot.

Happy gardening.

Hehe! I feel a tad daft now.

Any tips on sowing a lawn?!
