I'v now been doing this gardening malarky for about 8 weeks. (It's great fun and I'm enjoying it) Have learned that my soil is acidic and everyone grows rhododendrons around here. I have these two plants in my garden and no idea what they are. Can anyone help identify them. I'v pulled out plants that I thought were weeds a few weeks back and don't want to be making the same mistake again. Thanks in advance !

Sorry for wonky pics (again)

Hi there ! Thought I'd just post an update now that the plant has started to flower. Flowers are a kind of lilac/white. Does this mean it is foxglove and not evening primrose ? Thanks

So it might not appear next year? I have a wee dog , althhough she doesn't tend to nibble the grass or the plants, I,m a bit worried worried about it being a foxglove, which is a shame because I really like it's colour and hight. Unsure if I should just pull it out and replace with something else. ?
