Identifying Vegetable Seedlings

 It's Spring! You've planted out some vegetable seeds and are anxiously awaiting their appearance. Some little plants emerge but are they your vegetables or perhaps weeds? Maybe you planted something but can't remember what. In either case, I thought some pictures might be helpful. Here are several pictures of vegetable seedlings from my garden with descriptions so you can know what you're looking at in your own beds. 

Carrot seedlings always have long, thin leaves.

Lettuce seedlings in desperate need of thinning. 

Turnips

Onion seedlings. I'm growing them  to eat as green onions. 

Beets. Note the red stems. 

Kale

Spinach has long, thin leaves like carrots but a little thicker. 

Peas

Radishes. Note how their first two leaves are shaped like kidney beans.
