Wall Lettuce?

[Tabby0318]

Hi, just wanted to confirm if this is wall lettuce? There are 3 growing and one is about a metre tall. I think fat hen looks similar on the tortoise table which is not safe.

Tabby was nibbling on it and want to make sure it is ok.

Thanks

I couldn't tell you without seeing a flower, I'm afraid. It could be something else in the very large dandelion/thistle/chicory family. Anything thistle related is fine though. So whether it's wall lettuce or another relative it's fine.

It now has buds on, so will wait until it flowers.
She has trampled on 2 of them, she tried the largest one aswell but got stuck on it as the stem is quite thick.
Thanks
