Hi

I've just started gardening after moving to a house with a lovely back
garden; before I lived in a house with just a back yard.

This plants (links below) seem to be growing everywhere I I was wondering
what they were. I think they are weeds but need to be sure before I dig'em
out.

Looks nice, as long as there aren't too many of them :-)

This is a very quiet newsgroup. If you get no joy here, repost to
uk.rec.gardening, which is much busier.

Sorry I can't put a name to them but they are normal garden flowers.
They do spread rather quickly so I pull out the surplus ones from time
to time.

It's a Saxifraga known as "London Pride", see...

Certainly not a weed.
