Default Can my hermans eat these?

Hi

Earlier on this year I planted some seeds in some pots and since then I'm not 100% sure whether my mum took out the soil and planted her stuff in them.

Theres no way I would feed my hermans weeds if I didnt know what it was so could someone please help me?

I took pictures of these this morning and any help I would appreciate it thanks.









Thanks again.

Sow thistle - Yes The whole plant is edible


Sow Thistle - yes


Chickweed - yes in moderation due to Oxlates (some say no altogether, I feed it to mine)


Chickweed again at the front , the plant with the four leaves, top and centre, is a willowherb - no.


Sowthistle on the left, chickweed on the right.

Same again, That heart shaped leave in the middle could be a violet - edible.


This appears to be...a twig (but same plants in the background).

Thanks again.

So a pretty good crop.
