I know iceberg lettuce is not good...but are green leaf lettuce ok? and romaine? Romaine is a little bit harder to come by here and expensive, but green leaf are common enough.. My star tort loves it and i'm wondering if it's ok to give it to her as part of her staple food?

Also, i don't have a garden/lawn but i do have potted plants...sometimes there's weeds growing on them, can torts eat those or they are toxic?
Staple food i give:
collard green
parsley
grass (if available, i have to go to a neighbor to pick them lol! )
wheat grass
hibiscus
opuntia
treats:
carrots
she takes bites out of the staple foods i give her but today i tried to give her green leaf lettuce, she ate the whole thing...that's why i'm wondering if i could constantly give it to her.
suggestions and comments welcome
