    Methinks @punkdoc is right - I have loads of these although the first leaf is one - a leaf. Could be carrot - prepare the grater for some salad!!
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Did your OH sow carrot seed there? If not, then probably they're not carrots. Nigella seems more likely.

    How strange, I didn't see puncdoc's post when I posted, but he posted nearly 20 mins before me!

    They don't look like carrots to me.

    @darren hansen 134 I think they are Nigella seedlings too. The are about the size you would expect at this time of year.

    I have similar seedlings in my garden which have self seeded.  Last year I planted wilko's white flowers mix which had a few odd blue flowers.  I have just looked up Nigella flowers, and I now know what these blue flowers were.  I guess I will be getting Nigella flowers this summer
