WEEDS or what are they?

Hi Everyone!
I spread many kinds of seeds since I moved in to this house last May, I saw them last year too and pull out not knowing what are they, now they come out again. Does anyone know them? Are they weeds? :roll:

Thanks :)

Looks like peppermint. Does it have red violet/purple square stem? Do the leaves have a minty smell?

Addition : They have no minty smell or square stems, but they have very short white hairs on the stems. :)

You are right, not mint. In these pictures you can clearly see the round stem.

I don't know what it is, but I'm thinking it is not a weed. It is likely to bloom in a little bit. Once it blooms, it will be much easier to identify. If it were me, I'd leave it alone until then.
