the 2nd picture is jack by the hedge - it's the first pic that isn't so recognisable

it's best to photograph plants where they are growing as they are much easier to ID that way

def wont bee feeding it until i know its safe don't worry i have got a basic weed guide i printed off tortoises.net but not everything is in it and it can sometime be difficult to ID from it as because its printed the pictures aren't the clearest.
