Are these weeds I'm nurturing?

Hi, I have recently returned to a flowerbed I haven't touched in a while and weeded it all out. It used to have Michaelmas Daisies, Clarkia, Antirhinum and Sweet William in and some others with white flowers I can't remember the name of :/ .  I left these remaining little plants in because I wasn't sure if they were weeds or the original plants coming back. I thought the big one was a geum, but now I am not so sure, it's getting bigger with no sign of flowers. I know it's tricky to tell from the photos but any advice would be welcome and appreciated. I hope I haven't made myself look completely stupid..... :'(

    Yup. Wait for someone else to give you specific ID before you have at them. Don't let them set seed.

    I would say that 3, 4, 7 and 8 are weeds.

  • Thank you so much @Lyn & @B3 off out with the trowel today!  :'(:)
