I would suggest that the first and last seedlings are ash trees and the middle one is an elder seedling. All would be 'weeds' in the garden.

I have them all over my garden, pull them out while they are small, when they get bigger the roots go deeper and longer and are a problem to get out.

I agree, ash and elder, I would think there is an established ash tree somewhere near - they seed everywhere. You will know if the other one is elder by crushing the leaves, distinctive aroma.

They are really hard to pull out when they get bigger. I have to dig mine out as I miss them every now and then.
Get rid of them is my advice-quick as you can!
