Very novice gardener starting up

[granadagirl]

Are these weeds ?

Could they be yarrow?

Not sure about the first one, but the second one looks as if it's Creeping Buttercup. It is a weed, it's quite pretty when in flower but spreads like mad.

Second one is unknown to me.

Yep, I’d say that the first one is achillea (or yarrow) and second one is a buttercup.

You certainly don't want creeping buttercup!!

Yes and yes

I love Achillea and I am sure that is correct. The creeping buttercup is a weed but a matter of taste. I let it run free in a wild bit of my garden as it is great for beneficial insects. A soon as it starts to seed I rip it out. Still comes back each year though.

Those creeping buttercups are FUCKERS.

As people have said , the first one is yarrow ( achillea) . There is a wild version, but lots of garden varieties are really pretty. The wild version isn’t really a weed as such , in that it’s not invasive. I’ve never seen a garden with a nasty case of yarrow, like you do dandelion or bindweed.

We have lots of yarrow and I quite like it.

I'd keep first one and call it a wildflower. I have to say the buttercup gets on my nerves as it romps around
my grass, so I get rid of it in the borders when I can.

@pinkgloves heeeee heeee heee .I love a post that is short and to,the point.

Yarrow is wonderful. Second is buttercup and aggressive so dig out as soon as you can otherwise it will take over thr whole bed.

Thank you all for posting your replies 😀

I’d only seen 3 by the time I’d decided what to do, not knowing what yarrow was(😲) should of bloody Googled
I bought it last year!!!
I Only now it as Achillea

Anyway I’ve left only a tiny bit as I had tiny feeling it was a plant(hope it develops and grows back😠

The second is all gone!!

Thanks again all
If I need anymore help, I’ll defo be back

I'm afraid the creeping buttercup will be back too! Never mind, all you can do is pull it up as soon as you notice it. Eventually perhaps it will think "Sod this, I'm off to find somewhere I'm more welcome....missingthesea's garden might do!"
