A weed I don't feed.

But I can't remember why and what it is, anyone recognize it and have any idea what it is ?

Do they ever have flowers? If so it could be bee balm, But The Tortoise Table says it's safe to feed.

Is it Vinca? In parts of my yard this is a ground cover with purple flowers. Since we live close maybe we have similar yard plants.

I think it's one of the smartweeds, Polygonum, some of which have been reclassified as Persicaria.
I am not 100% certain of the ID. I believe the smartweeds are high in oxalates.
It is not Vinca minor.

I agree - it's one one the Polygonum clan; probably now a Persicaria, or maybe Fallopia. Not usually considered safe.

This might help, They are blooming now, not much of a flower, Each leaf has a dark shadowy area near the center, I cant get it show very well in the pics.

Yes, that's a smartweed flower.

I have lots of persicaria where I live. I planted some in my box turtle enclosure. They didn't eat it, but apparently it's just high in oxalates and not toxic.
