    Lots of plants growing in my garden. Many of them are already identified thanks to this forum, but still have more to ID. This set have some that may be weeds, but need to be sure before removing them.

    In the third picture, I need to ID the plant that is not the ribbon grass.

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    I don't know what the first one is called, but it turns into a huge nasty weed. If it's what I think it is, you should pull them up before you have to use an axe - mine got past 12 feet.

    Number two might be an Ipomoea of some sort - it will be easier to tell when it flowers, but if you let it go that far you may never get rid of it.

    Number three reminds me of raspberries or blackberries; the zebra grass is zebra grass.

    Number four - dock?

    No clue on number 5.

    #5 are suckers from the roots of a nearby lilac.
