and what are they?

ground ivy - poisonous?

bindweed - in moderation?

I don't recognize either of these, am pretty sure the 2nd one is not bindweed though

Is the 1st garlic mustard, if so its safe to feed 2nd sorry dont know the name but as a rule shiny leaves are a no no/

touie · 06-06-2011, 07:10 PM

thanks neither have shiny leaves, the first one feels slightly fuzzy!

No 1 is looking like Ground Ivy, think some list as edible, but need's checking.
No 2 is looking like Bindweed, fed in moderation.

I thought no 1 was sweet violet?If so it is edible but could be ground ivy which is not.
Is it possible that no.2 is periwinkle?may not be if not shiny but it's growing with more that type of leaf arrangement than bindweed.If in doubt..............

looks like field bindweed from my book, borage family.
I wouldn't like to say what the other one is, it does look similar to ground ivy but the edges of the leaves on ground ivy are usually less like saw teeth than what those leaves are

I'll try and get some pictures of the plants growing later! I am pretty sure the second one is bindweed, you can't see it in the picture but it does have bindweed shaped leaves, I just picked a really young specimin I think!

It does look like sweet violet but there aren't any flowers yet, it's really difficult sweet violet leaves and ground Ivy leaves look the same to me!
