No your yard isn't safe and is unlikely to be so for at least 6 months. Personally, for roundup, I'd leave it a full calendar year.

I'd wait at least a year before feeding anything that grows in those areas.

Thank you so much my friend I did purchase a broadleaf seed mix so I will just grow inside for now I appreciate your response
you can also grow outside in very large pots if I remember correctly these get very big
