I'm clearing out an old perennial garden. Wondering if anyone can id any of the plants in the picture. Is the third one Poison Ivy?

Top left looks like Creeping Charlie.
I'm not sure what top right is... I'm not convinced that third pic is poison ivy because it doesn't appear there is a petiolule on the center leaf. See: http://identifythatplant.com/poison-...ginia-creeper/ Just can't be sure based on the pic. Not sure about the bottom right looks very familiar. Possible salvia or sage???? |

I agree, that last one could be a Salvia.
The first one looks like lemon balm, but there are a lot of similar looking herbs/flowers in that family. Crush a leaf between your fingers. If it is strongly lemon scented, lemon balm it is. Second one looks like evening primrose to me. The poison ivy I don't know. Last edited by bower; May 26, 2019 at 04:51 PM. Reason: wrong order |

Regarding the third pick, mind the old saying "Leaves of three, let em be."

For the third picture, I'm betting bramble rather than poison ivy. But I'd still wear gloves when pulling stuff like that - too many times, I pull out one weed only to find PI lurking underneath.

Thanks everyone. I think the first (left to right) is Creeping Charlie, second possibly Penstemon Husker’s Red, third is a weed, probably not Poison Ivy, but I'll be careful, and the last is Salvia.
Thanks for the help!!! I'm going to transform this pile of weeds into an herb garden with a few perennials mixed in. |

Third pictuer looks like more like young Dewberry or Raspberry leaves because of the many serrations along the edges.
Much more so than poison ivy or oak. |

First pic looks like it could be Big Betony, second is almost surely Husker Red Penstemon.
