The first plant is smooth sowthistle Sonchus olearaceus which is great tortoise food. The third plant is catsears hypochoeris which is tortoise food. the fourth plant is not tortoise food I think it is a senecio. The 5th is a cudweed not tortoise food. Th 6th plant is maybe a burclover its a legume. The 7th plant is chickweed good for torts. The 8th plant is a grass probably could feed. The final plant is probably shepherds purse or bitter cress both would be good food. Get a picture book of common weeds for identifiction. I'm sure you have plenty of weeds. Look for plants from the clover family like vetches, clover, burclover etc. since tortoises love them and they are high in protein. Look for plantains which are good tortoise food. Look for yellow flowered dandelions which are good food.

www.thetortoisetable.org.uk is a good guide for tort safe plants, It has an alphabetical plant database with lots of pics for checking IDs (easier if you have names to match and check)

Yes, burclover is great food. In the wild browsing tortoise eat alot of clover family plants like vetch, Medicago, Trifolium (clover) etc. That smooth sowthistle in your first picture is food tortoises love. My tortoises love it.

By the way, I think the second plant is Queen anne's Lace Daucus carota. I am not certain though since the plant is young. Look for weed ID sites on the internet.
