I basically have a carpet of this in my yard, and if it’s edible, I’m probably gonna make an outdoor enclosure around here :)IMG_1525538957.805355.jpg
And as a bonus, is this vine edible?IMG_1525539034.627833.jpgIMG_1525539238.475209.jpgIMG_1525539264.928066.jpg
What about this tree?IMG_1525539087.456161.jpgIMG_1525539159.224858.jpgIMG_1525539174.006785.jpg

Your first pic isn't chickweed. Not sure exactly what it is though.

Second pic. Some kind of grape vine I think. There are a few wild varieties in areas of texas. I'd get a second opinion just in case.

The tree is a type of oak. I wouldn't offer it to my tort IMO.

Ok, so the first one is horseherb, and it says feed in moderation on the tortoise table. Although, they say they can’t find any evidence of toxicity, and that sometimes deers refuse to eat it.
