I had a look but it didn't really specify which ones were safe or not? :?

Matty I think the last one was on the Foraging 2011 thread recently, just in the last page or two or three, and I think Thumps_ said it is a bad weed and you need to wear gloves and be very careful with it as it can cause blistering on your skin. :shock:

Don't know about the first two but the last too pictures are poisonous, they are type of spurge I believe

Yes - euphorbia (spurge) are poisonous.
Think the second is rosebay willow herb - not sure whether poisonous.
Can't think what top one is.

You know the spurge stuff that is poisonous - I have some that is growing quite near to my peas - will they be ok to eat? (Not touching or anything, just very near).

Sorry to divert from the topic of the main thread.

Should think would be ok - but are you able to clear it away from near your peas, on the basis of better to be safe than sorry. I really like euphorbia but have cleared it from my garden, although I still find bits of it.
