Hi I m struggling to identify these weeds and not sure how clear the pics will be.
1st pic is a creeping plant and has white flowers on it
2nd pic has a low base of leaves but a really tall stem with a cluster of white flowers at the top and there's a few other tall stems coming out from the base at an angle which also look to have flower heads forming
3rd pic I really though it was Herb Robert but the flowers are wrong
Thanks

Hi Teddy.
You have Fumitory, no feed -- https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/pla ... nt=432&c=6

Chickweed - Moderate feed - https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/pla ... ant=86&c=6

And the last one, with the small leaves and long spike with what looks like white flowers...can you send in another photo with a clear closer shot of the leaves and flowers please.

Thanks for the 2 ids Lin, fumitory is a new one to me.
Not sure these pics are much better, I had to take the flower stalk off otherwise I just couldn't get a focus

Ah, its Thale Cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) and as a brassica it would be ok in moderation and added to a varied diet.

Lin

Thanks Lin, so many new weeds are popping up in the garden, never seen thale cress or fumitory before.
Best wishes
Teddy & Boris

Your welcome Teddy and Boris.
Its interesting when you have a new area to explore for new findings. I's quite exciting.

Lin

Certainly is. There are so many new weeds popping up but although I'm learning their identities I won't be feeding any of the safe ones. They are on a piece of land treated with weedkiller last June so I'm not taking any chances. We've gone chemic free now, it didn't work anyway
Thanks again Lin

I should imagine a winters worth of rain would render the June application of weed killer useless by now.

Lin

Oh do you think so? I just didn't want to take any chances but we've certainly had a lot of rain since then haven't we
