I was given a packet of seeds as part of a birthday card and these came up, how they seem to be all over the garden too. Does anyone know what they are? Thank you

Cultivated radish according to my app. Sorry, the picture isn’t good. I can’t get a screen shot.

I found a similar one in my garden which I discovered was Petty Spurge (Euphorbia Peplus) whose common name is Milkwood, Radium Weed or Cancer Weed. It is highly toxic with sap that causes blisters and irritation. It is very poisonous if ingested. I have removed every bit of it wearing gloves and also warned my neighbour as it had crept into his garden too. I have no idea where it came from. It was pretty though!

I don’t think my app is correct about this plant. It does occasionally make mistakes!?

I definitely agree it's a Euphorbia. I like the idea of a green plant and there ae several different types.

Plant snap is good too.
