I have a few more weeds I need some help with identifying please...

1 - Whole plant

2 - Just the leaves

3 - Can't make my mind up on this one - Hope its edible I have lots around...

4 - Seen a fair bit of this around too...

5 - A leaf on its own - not sure why I put it on the back of my hand?

6 - I think this might be a young Groundsell or Ragwort, can someone confirm please...

Thanks

The first one looks like ox eye daisy which is not toxic. I feed it but most lists do not include it. The last one is toxic. Groundsell.
