I think number 3 is chickweed and no 5 is forget me knot. I believe those 2 to be edible.

No 4 has got a foxglove in it and they are considered dangerous.

Hope this helps a bit, someone else will be along any minute to name the rest!

The small plant at the top of picture 5 looks like Jack by the Hedge (but hard to say for sure as the picture is fuzzy )

Danny that might be almost anything- Is it a stinging nettle? Photo no 1 has about 8 plants in it!

Number one could be immature chickweed,number two looks like cleavers or goosegrass (or stickybud) but might not be! Number three looks like chickweed, number four looks like biggish foxglove leaves and number five is pretty blurry but the little plant at the top is nettle. Chickweed and goosegrass are edible. Foxglove isn't.

Number 2 looks like Forget Me Not behind the Foxglove.

Number 3 looks like Forget Me Not in front a Nettle.
