    Hello, I agree the first one is a geranium, they come up every year and flower for long periods. Sorry cannot remember the second one , but the third is spurge.

    No idea about turf or grass seed, but hope someone else can help.

    Did the grassy stuff have purple flowers on it - if so then you have chives growing in your garden. We have them (definatly look like ours) - and you will have them growing every year.

    No 1 is Herb Robert (geranium)

    No 2 is possibly Rosebay Willowherb?

    No 3 looks like Spurge

    No 4 is Bergenia

    They're not chives, I don't think moonrose - at least, they're not like the herb chives that I grow. They are kind of woody and the flowers were white (I think). They go red as they start to die off. It's a little frustrating sometimes, having all these plants and not knowing what they are! I'm not even started on the plant ID front yet...
