Spring sprouts part 2

A more red leafed version of sorrel that was left by the original residents

Garlic chives: a late emerging and flowering onion with high culinary value. Adaptable plant that has grown well for me in both shade and sun, dry and more wet.

Giant turkish Plantago.

Chicory self seeded beside Anise Hyssop. Both have pretty flowers though the second is particularly ornamental and very attractive to pollinators.

Ground cover sorrel Rumex scutatus

Hyssop, a pretty woody subshrub herb.

Among the weeds that have space in the forest garden are evening primrose.

Red deadnettle is another useful weed that makes up part of the understory of the forest garden.

Several forms of sweet cicely. This one has more of a red tinge. These are all Myrrhis odorata rather than Osmorhiza sp. which I also have but haven't seen yet.

One of the original adults here at ALE, this sweet cicely is large and green.

A more hairless form of Sweet Cicely from Europe
