Woodland plant id's please
Looking in my woody area I'm trying to figure what else I need to get under control
1) It seems these are taking over where the alkanet was taken out. Should I try and clear these now as well and what are they please ?
2) This kind of looks like a cross between mint and a nettle ? Is it cat mint ?
3) Haven't a clue on this one.
4) Or this one
5) Sorry last one
Goodness I thought the woodland area would be easy, but it just seems a mass of weeds. Need to sow that campion and see if that takes off, would much rather that than this lot.
Thanks with any help you can give.

1 has stinging nettles and geum urbanum, wood avens. Both prolific seeders and not too much decorative value
2. test for smell, might lemon balm
3 one of the willow herbs, not rosebay, out
4 violets, goodies
5, one of the vetches, I don't know them well enough to ID without flowers but might be very pretty
In the sticks near Peterborough
1. stinging nettle, little yellow flower is herb benedict/wood avens
2. a dead nettle of some sort
3. greater willow herb
4. some sort of violet or could be young garlic mustard/jack by the hedge
5. some sort of vetch (pea/clover family)
