more edibles

I have found another way I like the hairy bittercress: on crackers with a spread (in this case, fish roe something that my husband bought).
While walking around the yard the other day I took a ton of photos, trying to remember once again if certain plants are desirable to keep or should I pull them up. Found to my surprise that there's more edible weeds in our yard! Apparently curly dock
chickweed
and henbit (not pictured) are all nutritious.

Of course, I will be more sure of an actual ID before I sample any of them.

The last is not a chickweed, apparently. It doesn't have the hairs on only one side of stem that alternates sides after a node- which I read is a key feature. Doesn't have any hairs on the stem at all.
