The first one is not plantain, the second one is the slender leaf type of plantain.

I didn't realize there was a slender leaf plantain.

if first one grows tall and develops white cottony/fluffy flowerheads, it's probably this:

Horseweed was my first choice too, however, when you do an image 'net search for "horseweed" it doesn't show the same plant as in this thread.

Ok...I found some images for it. Horseweed is also called fleabane, and under that search, I found the exact plant pictured here. It is edible, however most uses call for it to be steamed or boiled.

Just realized I was looking for "horse tail"...completely different plant.
