    Would you be able to identify the plants in these pictures, I have a wild area at back of garden, the plants in first picture I don’t mind. But In the second picture the main plant has spread quite a bit and blocking out the Lily of the Valley which is looking nice at the moment.

    Lilly of the valley, Blue bells?
    Plants and weeds are dependant on how you think.
    If you like something you keep it, if you dont you get rid of it.

      First one is a spurge (don't know which). Second could also be herb robert. Can tell if, when you yank bits out, the foliage smells horrible. If it's just pungent and medicinal, probably feverfew
