1 looks like sedum to me too. Sedum Acre (biting stonecrop) is toxic but that isn't sedum acre I don't think
2 not sure, looks like a trailing or climbing plant, I don't think it's strawberry either. I wouldn't feed that 3 can't remember but not edible 4 no idea 5 a) no idea, doesn't look like an edible one. 5 b) although it looks sow-thistle shaped I'm not so sure it is - it might be but ragwort is that shape too, silver ragwort and normal one too 6 does look like herb robert 7 aquilegia I think - toxic 8 no idea but not edible 9 bramble 10 gorse bush or something maybe |

Okay first photo I can see:
Dandelion leaves, slender plantain and ice plant sedum..... mine LOVE ice plant sedum! But be careful not to give too much too often as it can cause the runs. Is 5b sow thistle??? - Not sure. |
