Are these weeds?

7 years ago

I seeded a portion of my front yard with soapwart and dwarf thyme, however I have these vine like plants growing and don't know what they are. They only showed up after I seeded but don't look like either soapwart or dwarf thyme. Any help is appreciated.

Sorry, it's hard to see much detail but there's no obvious soapwort or thyme visible in the photo. There's a branch right in the middle of the picture which could possibly be thyme but it's out of focus. Rub a leaf and sniff. Thyme will be obvious.

The red stemmed plant is a weed. The plant at the top of the photo is thyme.

To me the top plants look like Euphorbia peplus. With a possible sprig of thyme sticking out nearby. An in focus photo would help a lot. Or the OP could just rub and sniff.
