Weeds everywhere

Yeah making a start today, hoing to be a hard slog but i just keep thinking eventually it will be worth it

 

Do you know what these are?

 

First one looks like crocosmia or montbretia, won't like to guess at no 2.

 

Would i pull the frazzled looking brown ones out?

 

No 1 looks to me like a bamboo but not sure. Yes pull the dead leaves off
No 2 the leaves look like an Echeveria but not the flowers, could you get a better photo, more close-up ...?

 

No2 could be some kind of sedum

 

You'll soon find out if No1 is crocosmia because they will be abundant with orange red flowers by mid summer. I've got some swathes of them and they are pretty, albeit very tenacious in free draining soil and can spread all too easily.

 

The second one looks like Echeveria.

 

We had the perfect storm on Friday a breeze in the morning wafting thousands of dandelion seeds followed by heavy rain in the afternoon, seeds in the greenhouse and the garden too, just do your best to remove them.

 

The first one looks like crocosmia. Could be the common orange sort ? Still a nice plant but its evasive.

The second is a sedum , I have several mine has yellow flowers .and the other with white.

 

If you have a large area of weeds try smothering them with old carpet pieces or similar .
They don't like it but it works !!!!!
