Please help ID these plants from my garden, I've tried going over in the forums and even tried an I'd app that was useless.

I agree with Yvonne's comments. I'll add that in the rear of first picture is Tecoma capensis, which is edible, and has edible flowers too. I agree the second pic may be "lamb's quarters", or a similar Chenopod, and they are too high in oxalates to feed regularly. The last one may be seedling Fraxinus - "ash" trees. Not really edible. Interestingly, "horseweed" is eaten by Hermann's and Greek tortoises in the wild, but they usually refuse it here.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly my tortoises are getting bored with the weeds and non weeds I have figured out. Here's a few more I was unsure about.
