Are any of these seedlings worth keeping or should I dig them all up and start from scratch?

    For the record, many weeds are also native.

    That said, what I see in your first pic looks like it’s all weeds.

    But that last one looks like horse herb and that’s great ground cover.

    A weed is just a plant that’s growing where you don’t want it to grow. These all look like native plants, but kinda hard to tell until they get a little more growth.

    You have a number of non-native plants that you should definitely pull as soon as you can: hedge parsely, giant ragweed, and sow thistle, unless you like burrs, allergies, and spiky plants. The last photo is horseherb, a tough native ground cover that will eventually make tiny yellow flowers. Some people even pay for that one at nurseries.

    The lambs ear, sticky weed, hedge parsley and ragweed should all be pulled before they go to seed imo. Seriously, just torch 1, 2, and 3.

    The last one is horseherb though! Cool ground cover, pretty little flowers.
