The perennial geramiums are edible (leaves and flowers). But if they've had miracle grow on them I'd leave them for a few months to flush through.

Wow, they are really helpful, thanks. We have lots of fields around us and have been trying to learn more about weeds but there are so many. Will keep my eyes out for these!!

Default Weed Identity

Been trying to identify stuff growing in my garden as suitable for torts. Im pretty sure the top one is Yarrow which is ok but cant find anything on the bottom one. It looks and feels like some sort of plantain but dosnt match any pictures i can find. Anyone got any suggestions? Although it does look a bit like dock leaf its a totally different feel and is a lot thinner than dock.
