New House--Please help identify plants

16 years ago

Hi friends,

I'm a lurker over on the Home side, but I am coming to you for help identifying some plants at my new house.

We just moved in two weeks ago, but the house was vacant for a year before that. So it is very possible that the garden became very unruly in that time.

Can you please help me identify these plants and if I should be pulling them or not?

Thanks so much!

I'm pretty sure the first one is an ash tree sapling. Maybe Fraxinus pennsylvanica or F. americana. They seed prolifically here and their seedlings pop up everywhere.

#3 looks like Hollyhock
#5 looks like Campanula a bellflower and right behind it is a daisy
#2 maybe Delphinium
#4 maybe Echinacea

Thank you very much!

Any other thoughts? Do I need to get better pictures of the plants for better identification?

If #1 is Ash it needs to go (as you may know) Emerald Ash Borers will kill it sooner or later.

The last two remind me of herbs. Second to last looks like some kind of basil, and the last might be a mint... like spearmint or catnip. Easy to tell by rubbing leaves and sniffing.
