Is this edible?
After weeks of moaning about a lack of weeds, I noticed these growing in some hidden part of the garden. It's growing along side a few dandelions.. can't believe I've only just noticed them!
Actually, I know the photo's not too great but if anyone knew what the little plants around it are, then that'd be fantastic |

The plant in the photo looks like foxglove to me so a real big no!
Dock leaves are a no as well I'm afraid, very high oxalic acid content, no good for a tortoise. Shame cause they're so huge. |

I am sure that the little weed is chickweed (edible in moderation) but am not an expert
