Need help with 4 weeds please
Hi,
Still can not find my weed id book, so could someone help me work out if any of these weeds the torts can eat. Weed 1 has little pink flowers: Weed 2 has little blue flowers and seems to stay close to the ground: weed3 grows almost like a little round tree shape: Weed 4 is a climber: All of these weeds are growing in my weed patch area in the back garden, where i scattered T lady seeds, so are they from that seed pack? Many thanks

Honesty is the name of the one with the little blue flowers.....that one is a safe food to feed........it could have been out of the mix.
The first one is not edible but can't remember its name right now....sorry. Fourth one looks like chick weed........only edible in very small amounts, although i never feed this one as I beleive it is high in oxolates. Hope that helps Dawn |
