      Second one looks like Dill, but as with any unidentified umbellifer, don't eat it till you are 100% sure, there are some humdingers of poisonous ones in that family.

      Post another pic when it flowers Cathyland.

      Just rubbed some dill together, smells a bit of anise and, yes, a bit like grass.

      Attendez vous.

      Je prenerai une photo.....
