4 looks like Dog's Mercury
6 could be saxifrage, ground elder or one of the carrot family 5 could be nipplewort but would need a better picture to be sure 7 & 8 look like some sort of tree or bush sapling ??

1 sweet pea, 3 looks like a poppy, 5 looks like it might be edible and 8 looks like great willowherb or giant wall lettuce or something, I have seen it before.
so 5 would be the only one in with a chance I'd say. best to photo them where they are growing though |

1) Everlasting Sweet Pea - Lathyrus latifolius. Do Not Feed.
2) - Unknown - can you get a clearer pic of the flowers? 3) - No ID just yet but on the tip of my tongue - watch this space! 4) - Docs Mercury - TOXIC - DO NOT FEED! 5) - Oilseed Rape or other Brassica (Cabbage Family) gone to seed. Not Poisonous, but best avoided due to high content of oxalates (can cause bladder and kidney stones). 6) - Yarrow - Mixed opinions on this one! Some say edible, some say avoid. I have fed in very small amounts with no problems. 7) - Looks similar to a young Sunflower plant, but very hard to tell so best to avoid. 8) - Looks like Willowherb - hard to ID without a flower. If so, it is edible in Moderation.
