What is this weed called?

[Mrs.D]

It grows all over the place but I don't know what it is called. I'd like to know if it's safe to toss a few leaves in for my Russians.

Looks like mallow?

 

[Mrs.D]

Viewed some images on line and that seems right. So is it something my boys can eat?

 

[Lyn W]

Check with www.thetortoisetable.org.uk that will tell you if it's safe.

 

[WithLisa]

Yes, mallow is edible.

Yeah it is okay to feed. Tortoise taste desirability may be a different question, some don't seem to like it. I know it as cheese weed.

Don't tell Tidgy's Dad! He's a cheese addict!
