    The first photo looks like a weed,the second and third photo looks like mallow. When in doubt wait a while to see if in fact they are really perennials.

    I have no input on the name of your first plant. For the second and third, look at wild geranium. They pop up like crazy in our middle TN yards.

    It is a weed that has stinging branches on it. Wear gloves and long sleeves when handling it.

    Number one one looks like Goldenseal-yellow root. If it is, what a blessing to have this growing in your yard. A great beneficial plant.

    I'd say keep an eye on them for a while. Some weeds have pretty flowers.. If you do decide to keep them have a pro, like agriculture agent to identify them. Cathy's comment of strawberry reminded me of a plant my Grandmother warned me about. Looks a lot like strawberries but is a version of Nightshade, so please have it checked out.

    Strawberries grow back every year birds can scatter seeds. Keep eye on it if produces strawberries you will know. Or take plant to county extension have them id it

    The 2nd and 3rd pictures look like cranesbill hardy geranium. The first one has the texture of like raspberry leaves or almost shape of oak leaf hydrangea seedlings but not quite on either one - can't quite place it. Have grown lots of strawberries and see a plenty of "wild" strawberries and none of these fit what I have seen. I would take them to your local botanical garden or the extension to see if a weed. Good luck.

    I agree with Pam the leaves do look like cranesbill hardy geranium. If it develops little purple pink flowers and spreads well it is Definately this plant. It's a good plant for spreading and stopping weeds.
