HELP!! Can anyone identify these weeds?

[qweny]

Hi guys,

I am new to hermann tortoises as i have just recently purchased 2 from a local petstore. they are living in a 3foot by 4foot tortoise table on a soil sand substrate. I am just wondering if any of you experienced tortoise owners can identify these weeds/plants in my garden and let me know if they are edible? thanks a lot

Number 1


Number 2


Number 3


Number 4


Number 5


Number 6
(i know this one looks like a dandelion but i dont think it is one as it is slightly furry and has spiky shaped leaves)

Thanks guys, any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Darn it! I don't know any of those...
I don't know what number 6 is called, but I feed it to my tortoises sometimes.

Thanks do the comment Tom, I'll give some to my tortoises later and see if they take a bite

These are my GUESSES
I am only about 50% sure about these....hopefully someone will chime in with answers they are 100% sure of
# 2 looks like strawberry to me
#3 is a variety of hen and chicks
#5 looks like creeping charlie and (i believe) it is toxic

2. Yes, strawberry.
3. Yes, sempervivum
4. Bleeding heart?

#6 looks like catsear aka false dandelion. Not sure on the rest of them.

Where abouts in the world are you?... from the use of the word garden,not yard, I'm guessing you're in the UK.

1. Not sure
2. Strawberry (edible)
3. Echeveria (Hens and Chicks) ... Edible, but Joe ignores it
4. Bleeding Heart (Do not feed)
5. A bit out of focus, but looks like Henbit (Dead nettle) ... not edible
6. Sow thistle (edible... a favourite with most torts)
