1 Don't know, looks like it may be a garden type plant rather than weed though
2 geranium, safe but they don't usally bother with it
3 thistle, not toxic but a bit too spikey
4 not sure but it may be celandine and if so, toxic
5 don't know
6,7,8, speedwell I think, safe to eat

I still think 2 is a true geranium http://s668.photobucket.com/albums/v...t=IMG_1746.jpg

creeping buttercup http://www.thewesternisles.co.uk/wil...-buttercup.htm

but you will find out for sure when the flowers appear
