Sorry I didn't see the second pic until now, it's not edible I don't think (pretty sure in fact) but can't remember the name |

Cannot provide a positive ID on this one. I tend to avoid any feathery leaved plants like the plague as many are related to the Cow parsley and are toxic. http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/s...main&catID=171

yep I remember now, cow parsley, fool's parsley, corn parsley, wild carrot etc they have those white flowers that ground elder has. Ground elder is supposed to be okay but I never feed it because it is so similar looking to some of those dodgy types
