I have been out picking weeds today I thought would be suitable for Ed after looking on TLady's weed pictures (http://www.tlady3.clara.co.uk/weedgallery/index.htm). | |

Hi Antonio You have on the left, narrow leaf plantain which is fine for tortoises, then next at the top is dead nettle which is also OK. At the bottom you have a dock leaf which you shouldn't feed, then the one with the fringing looks a bit like cow parsley, but that is so similar to hemlock which is toxic so I wouldn't give it. anyway cow parsley is slightly toxic too. The one on the right looks a bit like hedge mustard and if it is then it's OK, but I'm not sure. You really need to see the plant when it is in flower as so many look the same. HTH a bit. Helen | |
