Any idea what this is in the photo? It’s growing in a sunny spot. Thanks

First one might be lemon balm. Try rubbing a leaf and see if it smells of lemon. Not exactly a weed (depends on your definition!) but it does spread itself. If you like it where it is, leave it.

Actually I've just Googled lemon balm and the edges of the leaves aren't spikey serrations like in your photo. Try rubbing a leaf anyway to see if there's a scent.

The first one looks like a Fuschia and the second one like a type of daisy.

Definitely not lemon balm. The stem isn’t red but the base near the root has a reddish tinge. Could that still be fuschia? It’s growing in between other plants.

The first one looks quite like one of my campanulas but I'm not sure. The way it's growing somehow looks like it's a 'proper plant' so I'd wait and see if it flowers. Agree the second looks like some sort of daisies - whether they're a weed or something you want is up to you.
