I live in Georgia. I think most of these might be weeds but just incase.... see pictures. (the fourth picture is sideways...the plant is looks to be similar to a very tall grass.)
5th picture is a long vine-type plant.

I think the first might be some kind of Joe Pye Weed, which is not always a weed, in spite of the name...

I think the last, if it's a vine, is a yellow jessimine. It grows wild, so it could be considered a weed. If it is that, it will have pretty yellow flowers in the spring. I am pretty sure that the others are weeds.

Anyway, if they are where you don't want them, consider them weeds and pull them up. I am pretty sure that you aren't going to see them look better than they do now.

take them to your nursery or extension agent who will be able to help you. The vine is probably a jasmine or some sort , maybe carolina or yellow jasmine. I paid good money for mine and they look beasutiful growing over a fence. Did it bloom this spring? Did any of them bloom this spring? hard to tell weeds from pictures. remember a weed is anything growing where you don't want it to. Was the previous owner a gardener who might have planted some of these? Are they all over or just in one area? in a bed?

The first pic (though fuzzy) looks like a snapdragon. If so, not a weed.

The last pic is a vine also in residence where I work. Conjectured to be a kind of honeysuckle (although I think it's a jasmine). Gangly, with little puffs of unattractive pink flowers and somewhat invasive, I'd get rid of it if I were you. Even if it's not an actual weed, it's not worth keeping. Not an attractive vine IMO.

Sideways plant #4 is some kind of invasive grass. Get rid of it.
