Logan (if I can call you that) Yes there are many weeds around and you have to decide what to dump BUT to me your soil looks gorgeous. Wish I had that
I'd do systematic weeding. the bittercress, willowherb, euphorbia and buttercup for a start
Because you've disturbed the soil and they've seized their opportunity.
That just an annual weed LH, sunspurge is its common name. I'd have it out or there'll be thousands next year

15.52, pic 2 and 4 are willowherbs
13.52 pic 2, there are 2 willowherbs on the left
Bittercress is in the 2nd pic of the first set of pictures. White flowers divided leaves.
They'll be with your sowings because they came to the surface when you disturbed the soil
Loganberry: Was the horse dung well rotted down, eg produced last year? The longer rotting process kills any weeds ingested by the horse.
If not you may have imported your weeds with the dung

Can anyone point out the bitter cress and willow herb so I'm sure what to remove?
