Hi! I am pretty stressed out about my garden that I planted seeds in this spring. There are lots of "things" popping up & growing, but I don't know if it is weeds or my plants. I planted lots of blue bellflowers, salvia, scabiosa, lavender, delphinium and blue dianthus. I'm pretty sure everything coming up is weeds and I have let them grow for a while...none of them have flowered. Is there anywhere I can find a guide for weeds and new seedling? I am ready to pull the whole section and fill it with blue eyed grass!! Any help would be very appreciated!

If they're still truly at the seedling stage it may be hard to tell the difference, but if they're larger then you can post them in the ID forum and people may recognize some of them. The other thing to remember is that some plants are perennials and biennials, and those may not bloom in their first year.

Post a pic and we can all play 'I spy' with it.

Ecrane is right, at the seedling stage, almost all plants and weeds look the same, but if you still have the seed packets, then as they get a bit larger, then you will be able to tell the leaf shapes, that is assuming the pictures are quite clear, I know if I am growing a lot of different seeds outdoors (not often in our cold springs so do it indoors normaly) but in the garden I have to use labels and do the seeds in little rows to transplant when big enough, at least I have half a chance to know what is what as they develope, but dont rip them all out just yet, there is still time to recognise some of them. good luck, WeeNel.
