The first plant (plant_1) has reddish stalks and looks like a mint.

I'm beginning to think that this is Scutellaria serrata. Can anyone
confirm or refute that identification?


Could be. I grew skullcap for a couple of years before it died out. It
looked a lot like that but it's been quite a few years. Next time
you're stressed out, make a tea. If it calms you down, it's probably
skullcap. g (I tinctured up enough that I don't need to grow it for
another year or 3. Good herb, skullcap.)

The second plant has large leaves.
Any ideas?

Looks good that the large leaves is Great Burdock.
