    Hi guys,

    I have just moved from a flat to a lovely new home with a lovely garden. It appears that this garden was quite well looked after not too long ago, and I would like to take over and carry this on.
    I would mainly like to start growing my own veg and herbs out there, but I think I'm a little to late to start growing things this year according to most seeds I've found.

    Anyway, there are some trees and plants out there that I've not got a clue of what they are so I'd like a little help identifying them if possible.

    The last 3 images are of a tree, and of a seed/fruit from that tree. I was thinking maybe a pear tree, but I'm not sure.

    Are you sure No 1 is a Sedum, Marley? Looks like a heather / heath to me.

    And No 3 looks like wild strawberry.

    No, 4 is a plant called 'London pride', I think it's Saxifrage family, so not actually a succulent per se.

    edit:oops as said above :-)
