Q:

What are these weeds? Should I bother rooting them out

Are these plants worth growing? Or they are plain useless?
Weed 1

Weed 2

A:

The bottom one is one of the plantains and not something you want in a pot, remove it before it drops its seed everywhere.
No. 1 looks like new shoots of a woody plant or shrub of some sort - is there something else growing there that's previously been cut back?
