    Hi all,
    Just watching nature happen in a newly cleared area of the garden. These two plants just popped up and I have a feeling I have seen them before so I am wondering if anyone can identify them. The first is 10 to 13 cms high, compact and small white flowers have started to appear. The second looks like it may develop into a poppy, at the moment there are no flowers yet, smooth leaves and about 16 cms high. Chard and daisies have also just appeared, interesting to see how fertile soil that has been under tarmac for over 60 years is.
