I have seedling popping up everywhere and a few that shouldn't be there.

Anyone recognise these in my 'pepper' pots.

 I think the peppers are the small ones in the top 3 but what are the ones in the bottom centre/middle. 

 

I also have this in my tomatoes.

 I think the toms are the large centre and maybe the small one but whats the big left one and the medium size one on the right with 3 leaves?

    off the shelf stuff from the garden centre it said suitable for seedlings etc

    I got loads more I think i will pot them up and see what they turn into. 

    I am growing some new types of tomato and peppers this year and wanted to make sure they weren't them before I pulled them up. 

     

     

  • Bluebaron I can match you with the unidentified's growing on the right hand side of your pot in the bottom picture. They're everywhere, in my pots, in my flower beds....

    Well, it certainly is suitable for seedlings.  Unfortunately they seem to be the wrong sort!  There are tomato plants in there and peppers.

    The ones in the top photo look like Fat Hen, Chenopodium album - you probably don't want to grow them on. The bottom photo might be a Persicaria species. Both weeds!

    Seed compost should be sterile when sold, so this should not have happened. I would complain.
