We've just moved to a new house and for the first time in 40 years I have a garden! The previous owners clearly planted a lot at one point and we have the basics of a small lawn with beds round the sides and a nice climbing rose going over an arch at the entry. However they obviously got a bit fed up looking after it and I think there a lot of weeds and out-of-controlp plants everywhere.

I am clueless about gardening but would like to learn so my first task is to get weeding and keep the plants that I like and get rid of the ones I don't. Trouble is I have no idea what any of them are and beyond Dandelions can't even tell what's a weed!.

Could any kind green-fingered mumsnetters help identify them for me?

Hmmmm Plantsnapp sounds dubious I can't see a Peony, a kiwi or a curry plant.
Is your second post meant to show the curry plant because that is the closest and is certainly not right.
I am guessing the "Kiwi" ident is "I this is a big one with thick stems" certainly not Kiwi.

Glad to be vindicated on the Quince!
