Hey... those look an awful lot like mustard seedlings!
Early this winter I pulled out the mustards and a cilantro and parsley or two and set them in the side yard to dry with the hope that I could get free seed out of them. Then, of course, they were forgotten and rained upon over and over. They ended up in the trash... but not before they dropped viable seed.
This is awesome... an effortless first harvest in a few weeks! It's also where I want the Lakota squash to go later, so it's perfect for an early salad spot. I must spread some mustard seed deliberately in early winter this time.
The "embarrassing side yard" has something to be proud of.
