Hi both

They look a little bit like the tops of celery leaves. There is picture here

Figure E shows a single seedling. You will have to scroll down a little way.

Also the leaves are quite a bright green so they do stand out a bit

Unfortunately the primary leaves do look like some types of weed, ie two opposing propeller blade type leaves. the third leaf stage should be a give away as it is more frilly in shape, a bit like a cellery leave. if you wait a short while they should stand out more obviously from the weeds.

I have a picture in my blog. Think this should link to it:

Note: This is a big file (3MB) so beware if you are on dialup.

If not look for a post called seedlings in my blog. The parsnips are on the right, bright green leaves above the carrots which looks like grass.

Glad someone asked this before my next round of weeding!
