Yeah. 3 looks a bit like strawberry leaves to me but they would have flowers and berries on now if it was a strawberry plant. 2 looks like chickweed but the colour is very yellow for that but that could be the light.
Chickweed is edible and young strawberry leaves are too but not sure if that's what they are |

are you sure that the first one is Nipplewort.......to me it looks more like creeping buttercup?
I would wait till you get a few more answers to be sure. Take care Dawn xXx |

This is nipplewort http://www.english-country-garden.co...nipplewort.htm
the leaves don't look the same .. and creeping buttercup http://www.johnharveyphoto.com/Life/...Buttercup.html the leaves don't look like that either. It looks more like the tall plant on the left and towards the back in the centre Last edited by Alan1; 07-06-2009 at 09:23 PM. |
