Hi everyone.
I built my beds, added my soil and fertilizer and seeds. a few things have started to come through, but some containers seemed quite barren, now a couple of little shoots are poking through. I don't know if they are weeds or seeds. any idea? I planted hot peppers, several types of tomato and some bell peppers. unfortunately for me, I forgot to label the pots. But I think I should be expecting peppers in the pot in the picture.
Thank you
can anyone identify this plant?

Looks like lamb's quarters.
It is considered a weed, but if this IS lambs quarter's (be sure of the ID) it's one of the edible ones and are sometimes intentionally cultivated and there are cultivated varieties as well as the wild ones.
Nutritious. Nutty flavor great in salad when young and tasty as cooked greens with stems removed when older.
Edit: ah! Potatoes got a post in ahead of me!
