I agree its too early to yet yet. If you have others growing leave a few to grow so it will be easier to identify.
Over at Scotts Lawn Service we have a great weed identification tool called the Lawnopedia with pictures and other identifying factors as well. In addition if its a harmful weed or a weed you just dont like it also gives useful control methods.
To update this thread, those shoots are now 2-3 feet tall and I think they're weeds? They have small purple flowers but they're mainly green and not the colourful flowers I was hoping for. They also seem to have smothered the bulbs and seeds I planted for some colour in my garden. And there' milldew on these weeds too, which may be why a couple of the sprouted bulbs in the middle of them have gone brown before growing tall, let alone flowering. I sprayed them all a couple of times with heavily diluted bicarbonate of soda and washing up liquid, though the bulbs have still gone brown.
Anyone know what kind of weeds these are? There seems little point in pulling them up now, as it's too late for anything else to grow properly. But if I see the same shoots next year I'm pulling them straight up!
this garden was derelict land for years artjak and then had other peoples rubbish dumped on it. I consider myself lucky not to have ground elder or japanese knotweed

Hi There!

Tip for the future Tomsk,always put a label in whatever you plant with the name,and I also find it useful to put the date of planting.
As already said too early to make an identification from your photos,perhaps you can repost when the true leaves appear.

They are weeds, I'm just having a mental blank as to name, I know them well! Do pull them up or they will set seed everywhere.
It may not be a native plant at all. Do you throw seed out for the birds? I have had some really odd plants come up that way.
It looks like a willowherb but I could not say which one, there are dozens of species. Perhaps it is a small-flowered willowherb.
Definitely a willowherb -I think it's the Broadleaved willowherb http://www.flowers.goodpages.co.uk/index.php?page=broad-leaved-willowherb
pull it up before it seeds or it'll be everywhere smothering everything else next year.!

definitely a willow hwerb, I've got that one (and most of the others
