Hi All

Any idea what this is, we had a very sunny day here, so Eddie was outside rummaging around when I caught him eating this. But have no idea what it is, should i pull it up or leave it there for him to nibble?

Thanks

Got me on that one...well every one if I am to be honest...I was going to guess at beetroot but the veins are not red running through it.
Sorry some one will know.

just protect it from your torts until you get a correct id

I still think its a nono even though I am not sure what it is, as it looks to have shinely leaves.
Unless its wet?

I just keep looking and thinking some type of root veg....dont ask me why...as I said before I am useless

I dont remember them being shiney, i think that might have just been the flash, however better to be safe than sorry.

thanks all for trying, ive got plenty of dandelions and other edible weeds they can eat
