Dear gardeners, pls help me; i can’t figure out if these all all weeds to get rid of or are they some flowers ? I’ve sown the seeds over this patch months back but I can’t figure out if these are future flowers of some kind or just weed and I should get rid of it?

    Yes😊 you have a fine selection.
    Do you remember what you planted? There might be the odd seedling there.

    I'd remove them all, just to be on the safe side.  ;)
    The bigger ones are willowherb, so definitely don't leave those.

    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I think they’re all weeds. I can see chickweed, willow herb, dead-nettle and possibly some groundsel. I’d get them all out ASAP. Chickweed can seed even at this time of year.

    I've zoomed-in and can't see anything other than weeds, so would remove the lot.  If you are planting something there, remember that weed seeds will still be in the soil, so I wouldn't direct-sow any seeds there, or you'll have difficulty distinguishing them from the new weeds.  You can prevent most weed seeds from germinating by putting a 2 to 4 inch layer of mulch down (I'd use bagged farmyard manure from a garden centre) then planting through it.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
