The first one is an annual kind of willowherb. I forget which exact one but tortoises don't eat them and I find them a nuisance.
The second one is chicory. The stuff we eat in salads is a different plant. This one is tortoise edible and produces a lovely blue flower.
The third I think is common fleabane which is not tortoise edible. The plants spread by underground runners and it thrives on damp ground. If you pull if up you might find thick whitish roots. They tend to break when pulled so the bloomin' thing bounces back.
