I've seen these on the forum before...but they showed up here! I'm quite sure they're edible...but I wanna know what they are so I can add them to my data base! @Yvonne G and anyone else that might be able to help!

The first picture looks kind of like London Rocket.

The second picture has several kinds. I see a fillarree peeking out on the left, sow thistle and maybe wild mustard (the one with the yellow flower).

We now have a member who is great at I.D.ing these things. Let's send a shout-out to @Iochroma

London Rocket is one of the cabbage family plants that should not be a large part of the diet. The sow thistle and filaree are fine.

I've been calling number one "Hawks bit" for years. Thanks to Yvonne for again correcting my ignorance. You did this once before with lambsquarter.

Anyhow, number one is safe to eat. All my tortoises have been eating it for years. I'm glad I now know the correct name!

In the second pic I see the filaree and sow thistle, but I don't see wild mustard. I see more of the London Rocket. All of that is good edible stuff.

Well, I must agree that we certainly ARE amazing, however, David (Iochroma) might balk a little at being called a 'lady.'

That's the problem with some names . I thought David was a female too. My apologies.
