this is the second one...

Thanks again everyone!

The first looks like a munched on Ajuga reptans, aka bugelweed, a common groundcover. And the second looks like Lamium....from that shot I'd guess Lamium purpureaum, an annual weed but there are also perennial lamiums that make handsome groundcovers too.

FYI, there is a plant ID forum on GW - 'Name That Plant!'

I think that the first one is yellow rocket, Barbarea vulgaris. I agree with gardengal about the second.

Here is a link that might be useful: VA Tech weed guide: Yellow Rocket, Barbarea vulgaris

Thanks! I knew there was a Plant ID forum but could not think of name (I was searching for "ID" and "identification" and couldn't find anything!)

The first one looked like ajuga of some kind to me, too, but I didn't want to transplant it somewhere, watering and caring for it, for it turn out to be a weed (not that I've done that before.... okay.... I might have veronica in the mini-green house... or it could be a weed.... Ugh)

Thanks again!

The first one is Barbarea vulgaris and the second is Lamium purpureum.

I'm with abgardeneer.
