I forget what the first one is called but pretty sure it's not edible (it isn't sticky bud)
hard to see the 2nd one, could it be chickweed? |

Second one is Lysimachia nummularia (creeping jenny). No idea if its edible. Nice for groundcover in a damp area though!

The top one is a nuisance in my garden and I don't think its edible but don't know for sure.
Creeping Jenny is non-toxic on the Tortoise Trust lisitng. But I don't know if its a food.

I've got Creeping Jenny it's not contagious, in the garden they have had a nibble but not fused. It's pulled up but seem's to come back a bit, think it's one of those plant's if you leave a bit of root, it's off again creeping.
