I saw the first one on Friday & thought it looked similar to Silene.

Middle picture looks very similar to rocket flowering.

I agree, top two look like Rocket to me!
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

top two definitely rocket. Flowers and leaves are edible and leave it to self sow too.
gone to pot :D

Hmm, I'm not sure that rocket would be part of a cornfield mix  ??? Thanks for your ideas  :) Some kind of silene/campion seems more likely to me

Got it - Silene noctifora - night-flowering catchfly. Still don't know the bottom one though.

that's a posh seed mix you got there :)

campanula

yep, silene and the bottom one looks like one of the mallows - moschata?

Thanks again, I don't know about posh Bugloss - just a bog standard cornfield mix from Chiltern Seeds with precious little information on the seed packet or the website  ::) Still not sure about the bottom one Campanula - googled it and the leaves look different to moschata. But I think we might be getting close!
