Hello, does anyone recognize this weed? Wonder it's safe to feed the tortoises.

Epilobium ciliatum: fringed willowherb

that stuff grows all over my yard and in the greenhouses at work: it's a serious pain to control

Well noted, thanks. According to the tortoise table below, I think I will give it a try
Although the Willowherbs are not toxic, they are high in tannins and usually unpalatable for tortoises (although the occasional nibble will do no harm). Usually a wild flower but sometimes grown as a garden plant.
