The first one I had trouble identifying. My tortoise has been eating it whenever she sees it. I'm sure it's edible because it must taste great to her, but I just want to be sure.
The second one looks similar to purslane, but the tips or the leaves(?) are more pointed. If been going crazy trying to identify it. It has tiny purple flowers in it. I believe it was put in the ground as an intentional ground cover.

I would have to say Sow's Thistle on the first one. Good stuff. One of my Sulcata's favorites. Especially the flower buds.
