Pic 1 jack by hedge (garlic mustard) it grows tall .. check out the pics on google http://www.google.co.uk/images?hl=en...=&oq=&gs_rfai=

Sorry I didn't see the second pic until now, it's not edible I don't think (pretty sure in fact) but can't remember the name

Thanks so much for the link. Very useful. Woo hoo i've found another weed! I'm sure in twenty or thirty years i'll know at least 5!! Who knew weeds were so tricky. My neighbours think i'm bonkers taking pic's of weeds

Cannot provide a positive ID on this one. I tend to avoid any feathery leaved plants like the plague as many are related to the Cow parsley and are toxic.

yep I remember now, cow parsley, fool's parsley, corn parsley, wild carrot etc they have those white flowers that ground elder has. Ground elder is supposed to be okay but I never feed it because it is so similar looking to some of those dodgy types
