weed

[John]

So I finally got around to doing a weed inventory of my yard and am hoping people can give me some input on what I have that is edible and what is not.

Thanks, John

3 looks kinda like rag weed. Mine won't eat it.
4 looks similar to the wild mustard we have here. If that's what it is its edible.
5 looks like Italian Parsley, but I doubt that's what it is.
7 is mallow. Edible. Mine eat a lot of that one.

Sorry John. I don't know any of them for sure except 7. Wish I could be more helpful.

I can't remember the names of 5 and 6, but they're toxic.

Thanks for the help Tom and Yvonne, I found out the first one is called lambs ear so I'll try to look it up somewhere, had a gut feeling about the one's you picked out Yvonne. I guess I'll have to keep researchin.

A edger in a accepted faculty is a bulb that is advised by the user of the appellation to be a nuisance, and commonly activated to exceptionable plants in human-controlled settings, abnormally acreage fields and gardens. It is acclimated to call built-in or adopted plants that abound and carbon aggressively.

anyone know if pic two is plantain?

 

[Tom]

Pic 2 is definitely not plantain.

Wish I was better with horticulture. Stells (Kelly) in the UK is a master of all things tortoise weed. You could probably pm her a link to this thread and she'd know them all right off the top of her head.

The last picture, with the blue flowers, is wood violet - edible.

Pic 6 and 7 is creeping charlie (toxic) I have tons of it and it spreads like crazy. Last one is violet and mine love it and it's flowers.

six and seven are two different plants, are you saying they are two forms of the same weed?

# 2 looks like evening primrose, (the one on the right) which is on the edible list for torts. It has yellow flowers and gets big and gangly.
# 1 looks like lambs ears if it's fuzzy and soft. Don't know about the edibility.
# 7 looks like the mallow I feed to my torts. Common name of the variety I have is "cheese weed". After it blooms there are tiny seed pods shaped like cheese wheels.
