Hi all,
I've been growing food for our marginated tortoise. Growing lamb's lettuce and a mix of weeds from shelled warriors seed mix. It's going well but I've noticed the lamb's lettuce is starting to get powdery mildew. I'm trying to save the crop, but had to pick out quite a lot. Does anyone know if powdery mildew is dangerous for a tort? If I wash the leaves carefully, would it be okay to feed him? Trying to avoid waste and wasted effort!

I don't know the answer, but when mildew started growing on my kale crop, I pulled up and discarded the plants.
