1 looks like ladys mantle?

None of those are weeds but garden plants, including Foxglove, Cistus, Primula and Stonecrop/Sedum which is edible but I would just stick to weeds that you know and be safe.

1. Not sure
2. Foxglove
3. Dont know which one you mean, there are a few in pic
4. Bristly Oxtongue
5. Foxglove
6. Primula, Cowslip
7. Primula, Cowslip
8. Rabbit Ears?
9. Could be Wallflower
10. Sedum

If these are correct I think you could feed Bristly Oxtongue and Sedum

Your numbering went wrong as you missed out 6 so I have listed them as 1 to 10 top to bottom.

Hi can you tell me the difference to weeds and plants

Number 1 might be a campanula which si edible but I'm not sure.

Number 4 is ragwort but there is a purple leaved plant behind it which is Bugle and that is edible.

Number 9 is a mullein which is not edible.

Number 11 is a sedum and is probably alright but if it produces yellow flowers then it would be best not to feed a lot of it.

2 and 5 foxglove not edible.

Think 4 may not be either bristly ox tongue or ragwort but prickly lettuce? wouldn't think any edible apart from 1 possibly being campanula
