    I've found a few common little weedy plants in Vernon and was hoping someone would be able to tell me what they are.

    A borage of some type, but the type?

    A chickweed?

    I know its a bad picture (the whiteish thing in the middle). It is soft and fuzzy and perhaps 20cm tall.

    Those are perennials with creeping mats of small basal rosettes.

    The plant at the top is probably corn gromwell (Lithospermum arvense). The plants in the middle are rather tricky, both of them are certainly from the pink family (Caryophyllaceae). The plant on the bigger part of the picture might be thyme-leaved sandwort (Arenaria serpyllifolia), the inset might show chickweed (Stellaria media), but I am very uncertain about these two. I am completely sure, however, that the plant on the bigger photograph is *not* Stellaria media. The third image might show a filago species, probably field filago (Filago arvensis).
