IMG_5795.JPG IMG_5796.JPG IMG_5797.JPG I found a new weed in my yard and I can't figure out what it is. It has a bright, tart flavor almost like a mild crab apple taste. Seems like yummy tort food. Anybody recognize it?

Sorrel? Tastes like a lemony spinach.

If so, I wouldn’t give it to my tortoise; I’d eat it myself!

One of those Tortoise Table do not feeds, because of oxalates. Oxalates don’t worry me but I know they do many people; your call.

Ah yes. You’re right, looks like it’s sorrel. It is yummy so I think I will eat it myself. I’ll give the torts a little too but not often. Thanks!
