Edible weeds: https://nomoola.com/weeds-id/ (note: eat wild plants at your own risk; if you’re in any doubt confirm the identity with an expert or don’t eat them.)
Community ID
Your other option is to upload photos to a community based program (available as apps orwebsites) — which also helps with compiling data for use by scientists worldwide.
There are also a number of Facebook groups where helpful members will help with identification.
