So... I have a bunch of seeds of this plant called Hesperis matronalis or Dame's rocket. Just curious if it's safe for either of my tortoise to eat.

It is considered an invasive species and illegal to cultivate in Colorado, Connecticut and Mass.

It is in the mustard family, edible, and it is an edible cousin of kale, broccoli, and cabbage.

(From Wiki: Connecticut: invasive and banned, e.g. illegal to move, sell, purchase, transplant, cultivate, or distribute)

Huh, that's interesting. Well I will be moving soon... so maybe I can plant it in the new place I am moving. Thanks Yvonne.
