Any idea what these might be?

[Sheepish]

They were a gift from our new neighbour in return for borrowing our mower, but they were given to him and he has no idea what they are.

Look like marigolds to me.

[zazen999]

of the Tagetes type; sniff them...if they are pungent them Tagetes they probably are.

[Jeanied]

Yup, I agree with RL - French marigolds or tagetes. You will be able to tell which when they flower.

[phil the shed]

even i thought that they were marigolds

if you know me and flowers..................
that worries me:-)

Supposed to be good for companion planting with tomatoes. Dunno why!

I'd go with marigold- but is the 2nd piccie of the same plants?
...cos they sort of look a bit like the oxeye daisies I've just been picking.

....if it's the same plant- then just ignore me...people often do!

[Nicos]

ooo...er...there'd be a bit of a difference in height when they're fully grown!!!

[Sheepish]

Thanks. The pics are of the same plants from different angles.
I never remember to grow marigolds in time for my toms, and they looked a little different to the cheap ones I had bought, so I hadn't immediately recognised them as such, but now you mention it I can see the family resemblence. I didn't have enough for all my tomatoes so they will come in useful.
