Weed ID, please.

Just moved into this house last year and have an abundance of weeds in the yard. Would be nice to know if my torts hit the jackpot outside now that the weather is getting better or if I'm gonna be spending the next few weeks pulling bad weeds up. Thanks!

clover - edible
chick weed - edible
don't know
don't know
in this picture, the weed with the red leaves is oxalis - shouldn't be fed
Don't know what the other plant is, but looks like it might be related to wild violets.

Thanks again, Yvonne. Just wanted to confirm the second was chickweed. I've been looking at all sorts of websites trying to match them up and it's driving me bonkers. Many sites have lists of thousands of plants that I'd have to click on individually just to see the pictures

This site is pretty easy to use:

I think I found your plant with the yellow flower. It might be cinquefoil - feed in moderation

Yup. I frequent that site before I go seed shopping. Really helpful but not when it comes to my backyard! With my luck, when I need to ID a certain plant, it's not listed. Go figure lol.
