Weed Identification
Posted: 09/12/2009 by Clairestortoise

Hi all, I am trying to find out what this is, It's a weed I picked this morning. What is it? and is it safe for my Teddy to eat? Thanks Claire  Click and drag me down to the editor

Could be wrong, but it looks like strawberry plant to me, so I know strawberries are not good, although mine like the occasional taste in the summer, I'm not sure about the leaves.

Hi, I have strawberries, leaves are not the same, thanks for helping though... I think its possibly Woundwort or common figwort. I really need confirmation as to whether this is safe.

Hi, it looks like white dead nettle to me, which is safe to eat, here is a link to The Tortoise Table did it look like this? http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/site/plants_19.asp?mode=main&catID=107
