I seem to remember strawberries grow low, have three leaves, serrated edges and distinct "veining".
If it's a spice, smell or taste should give it away; although sometimes smell and/or taste are weak (like if conditions are poor).
Yeah, labeling is good.
Of course, a person should be very careful about tasting unknown plants, and only use taste when the plant is otherwise known to be nonpoisonous.

That second one is most definitely yellow nutsedge. You might be able to pull it out. Normally it grows from a nut like structure deep in the soil. It is very hard to pull the whole plant.
First one could be clover. Maybe Berseem? or Crimson? Definitely not Ladino or Red. Then it might not be clover at all. I would watch that one for the bloom.
