Hi. I was wondering if any of you wonderful people would be kind enough to point me in a direction of what these weeds might be called so I can see about possibly adding them to my love’s diet. I currently have clover, Coreopsis leaves, Cornflower leaves, mulberry leaves, strawberry leaves, and mimosa leaves (only once) that I usually pick three or four from to mix with grass, and a mazuri pellet. I have plenty of other plants I wouldn’t mind using but I am worried about using them because I mixed Miracle Gro soil in with the regular dirt when I planted them a few months ago. I could then add petunias, zinnias, coleus, dahlias, possibly peat moss rose (have to do a little more checking to make sure I am right) and a few others that I can’t think of now.

Hopefully, the pictures work. If they don't I'll post a link to the album.

Thanks for any help.

Image # 3-4 looks like some form of Jade which is a succulent
Image # 6-7 is also a succulent, I have some of that growing in pots but I can't remember the name.

That's all I can help with..:D:D

Edit: Yvonne is correct, # 3-4 is a Purslane...I looks so close to a Jade but looking at the pic closer, the leaves are very thin...

The third picture is purslane. Its edible, but high in oxalates and shouldn't be fed too often.

The 8th picture is a very young mulberry tree. Most likely going to be one that bears fruit.

6&7 I believe is Ice Plant. 3&4 is purslane. #5 and #9 are something that grow in my yard normally, but I don't know the names. I've seen my Russian nibble on it, but it is certainly not a favorite.

No, I don't think 6 and 7 is ice plant. The flower isn't right.
