What are these weeds? And are they edible?

[PMQ]

Any help is appreciated

I think the first picture is dock. I always try to pull that one up and toss it because when it goes to seed the spike has hundreds of seeds on it. It spreads quickly. The animals don't eat it.

The second picture sort of looks like dandelion, but I'm not sure. Dandelion is edible.

The last picture is some sort of thistle. They are usually edible.

I'm thinking the third one is sow thistle....so it's safe?

I agree with Yvonne. And sow thistle is safe to feed.

 

[Natalie Jean]

I agree also xx

Do you guys both think the last one is sow thistle? I'm not 100% sure.

#3 is prickly ox tongue, a type of thistle -- edible. My guys love it!

There are many types of thistle, I've never seen one that isn't edible. In my signature you can find pictures to the name of the weed/plant/and other vegetation.
