Hello,

I seem to have a few of these in the garden:

as well as these:

Any ideas what they are and if they are edible?

Thank you!

I think the first one is Buttercup/Buttercup family with a nice clump of Dandelion leaves to the top right, number 2 Aquilegia and the third Rosebay Willow Herb - so on that basis, none are edible bar the Danedlions!

Mine love Aquilegia leaves given the chance, they have not come to any harm eating a few, although I think the TTable says no.

Creeping buttercup - not recommended

Aquiligea - not usually recommended but I have fed it a few times and not seen any problem result

A willowherb - not recommended

But the growth of those plants suggests you will have other stuff there that is suitable.
