Hello! I am hoping someone can help me identify the weeds I have growing in my yard and if they are a safe snack for my desert tortoises. They all have similar appearances with rubbery leaves like a succulent, but all have different shaped leaves.

Weed #1: I believe this one is Purslane with the "teardrop" shaped leaves

Weed #2: with "cat eye" shaped leaves

Weed #3: with circular leaves and very significant veins in the leaves. The purple flowers are growing at the nodes.

Hi Turtlegal!

The first is definitely purslane, safe.

The other two I don't know.

It helps folks narrow down options if you tell us where you live. If you go to your profile, you can add a general location. You'll see my location under my avatar, there on the left.
