    Normally I pull stuff up from my borders if I haven't planted it, but one of my borders is north facing and I'm thinking that if something is happy to grow there, as long as it's not too invasive, then I'll leave it. I have no clue what these are though, so if anyone could help I'd be grateful :)

      Thanks all for your help :dbgrtmb:

      So it looks like I'll be keeping the Foxgloves and Welsh Poppies.

      Might keep the Leycesteria which must have seeded itself from the 7 ft one overhanging my fence from next door neighbour's garden. Don't like the look of them but the bees love them so I may put it in a container.

      Everything else gets binned.
