Previous owners of veg bed had some green beans (dwarf something?) And tomatoes in this area of the bed.

These seedlings? have grown this year, are they veg?

They don't look like our usual weeds!

That does look a bit like a tomato. Keep it well watered and see what happens!

Possibly carrots to the right of the second picture (though nigella and other plants can be very similar). Don't think the others are anything vegetable, quite different from bean or tomato seedlings. I'd not take the chance and get some seeds you know into the ground.

Should have clarified that those are my carrots to the right of the second picture Grin

Got definite tomato, definite runner bean, courgette, broccoli and pepper seedlings ready to put out there, hopefully soon!

I think it's warm enough now but don't want them to be completely obliterated by the snails as it's so rainy...

I personally wouldn't bother waiting and seeing and potentially ending up with either weeds or self seeded veg from F1 hybrid parent that will not come true. Whip these out and stick with your known seedlings. If you're curious pop them into pots and see what develops. The first one looks a little like poached egg plants - which I have growing amongst my veg to attract pollinators and beneficial insects - but I wouldn't swear to it and it could equally be something I desire able taking up valuable space and nutrients.

@BewareTheBeardedDragon thats a good idea, I'll stick them in a couple of pots and see what happens...
