Help with pots please

So last year I decided to try and do some planting in pots.

Many things have died but I am unsure about the attached photos.

Is the 1st one a weed or is it a plant that has survived? Hopefully the latter

The second is lithadora I think which I love and I always kill it. Still some flowers but is it dead and beyond saving?

The first one is forget-me-nots. The second one looks like it could do with a lot more compost in there.

@canthavethatonethen apart from watering the forgot me not, do I need to do anything to it?

Re the 2nd should I just add compost to the middle?

Thank you for answering

Put more fresh compost on the second one and then feed it every two weeks. Use a whole can of water with a scoop of feed. I use miracle gro.
The forget me not is lovely. Feed that as well and it'll produce more flowers.

Lithodora really needs an ericaceous potting mix. So maybe repot what’s left of your plant in that and it might do better.
