My guesses:
3. Bindweed - ok
5. Plantain - ok
6 & 8. Thistle - ok
9. Dandelion (and clover) - both ok
11. Dead nettle - ok

Blimey you got some good ones there.
Pic 3 - Bindweed - edible in moderation
Pic 4 - Red Clover - edible
Pic 5 - Greater Plantain (or Broadleaf plantain) - edible
Pic 8 - Thistle - edible (I think....confirm?)
Pic 9 - Dandylion - edible (once/twice a week at most) + also there is clover in that pic.

There are some toxic ones in there too - I think 7 is cow parsley which is not to be fed, and Pic 11 (dont know what it is) but leaves look thick and shiney - always IMO a warning that its not edible...but could be wrong.

Well thats all I know....on this one. But some good ones in there Steve, WELL DONE! xx


Pic 11 - White Dead Nettle - flowers and leaves - edible.
