I agree on all - Finsky spot on.
Mine won't eat that sort of geranium. But some nice meals there Taszia.

I tried some geranium for mine last autumn...and he did have little nibble of the flowers, but wasn't overly exited about it. No doubt I will give him another serving once the flowers are out..nothing like getting new 'baby' to try all the different foods.. ETA: I like this list of edible weeds for torts...http://www.tlady.clara.net/TortGuide/diet.htm#plantlist and this.. http://www.russiantortoise.org/edible_plants.htm ..have a look until you locate you book Last edited by Finsky; 17-03-2016 at 01:09 PM. |

Sorry - saw this thread too late but agree with all the id's.
It's always lovely to find edible weeds sprouting up.

thanks Taszia for posting these. That geranium is all over the lawn at the moment spreads like wildfire and my lot don't like it - its knocked the clover out which they loved so unless you want a geranium lawn you wont need much to take to your new house - I remember your strawberries as well ! don't forget them if have the plants !

I have taken all the wild strawberry and viola's and potted them to one side . No point me taking the forget me nots .. they hate them. Can't seem to get them onto clover either they just don't seem interested.

Who knew that deciding to get a tortoise meant becoming an expert in plant identification too?! I'm not much of a gardener, but I can see that changing pretty quickly when it's all for the tortoise.
