New Here!

Hey, I'm Nick, I'm from Illinois. I got a sulcata baby about a week ago, I'm currently just trying to get ahold of more feeding options for it, I've read the posts from Tom in regarding the different things to feed, so I actually have a few photos of some plants/weeds I've found in my backyard, just not 100% sure on what they are? Maybe if someone could ID them, that'd be great! Glad to be here, and thanks for any and all help!

I believe I know a few, I'm thinking one of them is a Hostas and a dandelion?

Hi and welcome!

Pictures 1 and 5 are not edible (wood sorrel or oxalis)
#2 is purselane, edible on an occasional basis
#3 might be willow herb, I'm not sure. Occasional but not daily
#4 is hosta-edible
#6 is one of the edibles, but I never can remember its name

Thank you, that one and the Hostas one were the two I was most sure about, I have a plant ID app, but I second guess everything so, doesn't help me much lol

Wait a minute. Northside and Sox fan that's like a very foul word pairing lol. That's okay, having tortoises makes it okay. Just kidding lol
I now live close to Jeff Park, from Wrigleyville area.
Enjoy the forum.
