Hi all.
Can anyone identify these plants/weeds for me please. These are all over my garden. Are they edible for torts, if not are they harmless to torts. Thank you

The first one is a Saxifraga; it might be "London Pride" - not really edible, not dangerously toxic.
The second plant I am not as sure of, but looks like a Campanula - some are edible, many are distasteful. None that I know of that are dangerously toxic.
Third is "bitter cress"; probably a Cardamine - edible, but like many things in the cabbage family, it is high in some compounds that mean it should only be fed in small quantities, with other varied foods.
Fourth one I am not sure of, but again, it looks like a Campanula
Fifth one is Ajuga - edible.
Sixth I am not sure of but it may be "tansy ragwort": known both as Jacobaea vulgaris and Senecio jacobaea. If so, toxic.
The seventh looks like an Epilobium or similar weed. Not toxic, but usually not accepted.
The last one with the quilted leaves is a "foxglove" Digitalis - toxic.

Thank you lochroma, I thought the last one was fox glove, wanted someone to confirm. I will pull all foxgloves before they flower.

I always amazed by people with such extended knowledge with plants.

My hat are off to you! ! ! ! ! !
