Hello, I'm a second year gardener and I'm having trouble identifying some of the plants that are sprouting up in my garden. It makes it kinda hard to weed, since I don't really want to pull up anything I don't recognize as a weed right off. The seeds I planted in front are: Mallow, Pennyblacks, allysum, scabiosa and soapwort. In back I planted Larkspur and hollyhocks. But I do have some plants from last year coming back - in the back yard, like allysum, cucumbers, and either tomato or pepper... Here's a link to the pictures I took earlier:

Picture 1: This is in the front bed, I'm pretty sure that it's a weed, but I just want to check first. The white stuff on it is fertilizer.

Picture 2: This is the only plant like this in the front bed, it keeps springing up, no matter how many times I pull it. But I discovered another one out back, just as well.

Picture 3: There are several of these in the front bed, about 9" tall at the moment. But there are a bunch in back that are about 2' tall, and have buds of seeds coming up now. These may have wandered over from my neighbors bird feeder.

Picture 4: There are a few of these out back, I didn't have these last year. I'm not sure if this is the Larkspur or not.

Picture 5 and 6: are both the same plant, again, I didn't have these last year, and I thought it could be the Larkspur.

I also have several little trees and other things popping up all over back this year, not sure where all the seeds are coming from.

In front I've identified the allysum, pennyblacks (huge dissapointment), and the mallow, but I've yet to see anything of the soapwort or scabiosa. The seeds were sown about six weeks ago, so I doubt I'll see them this year - unless any of the weeds happen to be one of them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, sorry for being so long!!!
