Is this a weed?

I'm pretty sure they are just weeds but I scattered some wildflower seed mix for the bees not long ago and I don't want to accidentally pull up some potential flowers. 🙈

    Yes it is a weed - I have thousands of them..
    I think it's some sort of spurge as it has a milky sap

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    THose look like seedlings of Petty spurge (Euphorbia peplus.)  I consider it a weed (annoying on veg plots), but it may have a place in a wildflower mix.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
