Can any one identify what these seedlings are?  Last year I planted a mixture of everlasting flowers and a number of annuals left over in my greenhouse. and have found these seedlings growing in my new veg patch, so need to move them but have no idea what they are of how tall they may grow, so weather to plant them in the front or back of my garden

    @Reg Wells Looks like no-one can tell what these little plants are, including me. But I would take the strongest out, pot them on and wait until they are more established. I generally hate the idea of having plants in my garden that I didn't sow or can't associate with another plant (for example, I expect Forget-me-nots next year, because I planted them in a particular corner).

    I ♥ my garden.

    Did you have any impatiens seeds?

    Must admit the leaves do look like a busy Lizzie, but I did not plant any there last year.
    I will just have to pot up the larger ones and wait to see what they are, as I need to plant my sweetcorn and bans on that site , this year.

    Amaranthus?

    I think the red veined one is amaranthus.

    Thanks for all your help, but I think I now know what they are. A couple have started to produce flower spikes and I think they may be Celosia, as I seem to remember that I had a couple planted there last year.
