plant id please!

[teq1]

Can anyone identify these plants? I took a walk in my yard and found these plants and was wondering if they are safe for my torts.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

I think number 4 and 8 are the same. Any information helps. Thanks!

1. Oxalis. Not good. Very high in oxalates.
2. same as 1
3. ?
4. Sow thistle. Good stuff. I feed it all the time.
5. same as 4
6. Almost looks lie mint, but I'm not sure.
7. ?
8. A healthier, greener sow thistle.

I think 3 is wireweed - Polygonum aviculare, not edible.

7 might be a very young Virginia Creeper, not really sure. My desert tortoises eat it, but the other tortoises don't.

I had my suspicions that number 7 and 4 was sowthistle. And I was right! Thanks guys. I have alot of those plants so I will give my torts some tomorrow. I'm so excited .

The other plants aside from the ones identified don't seem safe for the torts. Am I right? In the meantime I will feed my torts the sowthistle.

The Sowthistles are different... the first is smooth sowthistle... the second is prickly sowthistle... sorry just being picky lol

It's OK! That's good that you point that out, that way I can identify the two. Thanks!

i have number 3 in my front garden, i honestly can not remmber the name of it -sorry!- but at the time i remember that it was not on my "edible plant list" for sulcatas, so i just forgot about it bc i had plenty of tort food growing. sorry, that was of almost no help at all. just bc it's not on one edible list doesn't mean its poisonous...
