Can anyone please advise on what the frothy carrot like seedlings are please? I can see the Icelandic poppies etc but have no idea about what else has self seeded!

    Nigella ?

    Nigella is a good bet - popping up all over the place here.

    Looks like Chamomile to me. I have some self-seeded in a planter and it's stayed green all through winter.

    screen right looks like Californian poppy (ferny). Centre screen looks like an opium poppy.

    I'm not sure those are Nigella.  🤔  If they are sticky to the touch, they are a weed (whose name escapes me).

    Thank you. They’re not sticky. I vaguely wondered if they might be wild carrot. 

    Perhaps I’ll just thin them out and hope for the best!

    Both camomile and wild carrot have very distinctive-smelling leaves, so if you crush a seedling you might be able to confirm or rule out those two, @rachelprice04.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
