Here is what the Tortoise table has to say on the matter, though they are typically overcautious.

We feed them leaves from green beans, long beans and grape's vines also.

Yes! Your tortoise will love them. It's the one food I have to strictly limit for my tortoise; it's like a drug to her.

Yes. Good tortoise food. They can eat the blooms too.

Yes! My tortoises enjoy pumpkin vine leaves and chocho vine leaves too. And they love the flowers! Even my turtles eat the pumpkin leaves, and they make great "water lilies" as they float in the pool. Iguanas eat them too.
