Hi!
I know there are many similar threads to this, and I won't try to hide the fact I'm a complete newbie on these things. I have photographed a lot of weeds growing in my garden or the nearby area and was wondering if you could tell me the species of these plants and whether they are edible / toxic (both would be handy to know!)
Thank you all so much.

Plant 1:

Plant 2:

Pretty sure this is water cress, but I just wanted to double check.
Plant 3:

Notice this also has small white flowers, and bear in mind it grows by an old dead rocket patch :)
Plant 4:

I don't know what these small black dots on the leaves are, but if they're tiny bugs, before even beginning to offer to a tortoise I would soak all weeds in water for around 30min!
Plant 5:

Growing in patches on normal grass.
Plant 6:

(I am aware there are two, but either being identified would be great!)

Plant 7:

(Looks a little like water cress, but it's growing on the wall of dirt)
Plant 8:

Plant 9:

Plant 10:

This plant looks a little toxic to me but I don't really know!

Thank you if you try to identify any of these plants ;)
I am really sorry that I'm making you all do the hard work, but I've desperately tried using the Tortoise Table website with the list of edible plants and weeds but to no avail!

Hi Olivia:

I'll let you in on a little secret that I use - Google! First of all I'll ask Google to search for a similar image by right clicking on the picture. If that doesn't work, then I'll describe the leaf on a Google image search. I almost always find the plant that way.

Thank you so much Yvonne! You're a life saver. :D
