looks like a type of echium not sure if its edible though

this one is ipomea we have a english version of this that can be fed in moderation but i really dont have a clue about feeding this one

chickweed this can be feed in moderation with a mixed diet

can remember the name of this dont think its edible the only thing i can remember about it is it has pods lol

this looks like dogs mercury but cant really tell but if it is its toxic

hope this helps lol

I was going to be cheeky and say that your first photo has about 14 species in it one of which is bindweed. The bindweed is a rampant climber that has trumpet flowers, some people recommend this for tortoises and some don't.

Apart from the chickweed I don't think these plants occur natrurally in the UK which might explain some of us not knowing them (well thats my excuse anyway).
