The one at the back is a (Bugle) Ajuga reptans, The ones the front with pink flowers looks either like a Sanguisorba or Persicaria bistorta maybe 👍🏻

Thank you, I was curious about the one with the pink. @mrsflowerpot would you know if that is a plant worth keeping or a weed that should be pulled?

I'd say keep it but maybe tame it a little if you can, it's definitely worth having in the garden and it's a splash of colour when everything else is fading 👍🏻🌸👍🏻

@mrsflowerpot just doing some research on the names you sent me and one that popped up additionally is polygonum or smartweed that looks very similar, I'm thinking it's maybe that.

Yes Polygonum persicaria bistorta is the full name of the one I mentioned above. That's the one I think it is as well 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
