    First one looks like Nipplewort - a weed unfortunately!

    No, the leaves are the wrong shape to be a Holyhock...and it doesn't have any rust!

    No sadly not a Hollyhock Pam.. Hmm Lovage could be right, it could be a very lush healthy one of those nippleworts.. If it is they are a pain if they seed...
    I found this pic of one for you..

    Hi Pam. I agree with Aaron about the second one but I wonder if the first could be Good King Henry, Chenopodium bonus-henricus. If it is, and I'm not 100% certain, it's not a weed as such, more a herb which, despite having a bitter taste, can be used sparingly in cooking. But do get someone to give you a positive identification before you try it!:dh:
