strawberry leaves

[adsum]

most of my garden is hybernating... but my strawberry plants are still pretty active. Are the leaves safe to feed?

I feed them almost daily to at least some of my crew, I have two types that keep leaves all winter long.

Another plant I have problems growing. They are fine for the turtles and tortoises to eat. I have a few growing in different enclosures here. I also will feed the the tops of the strawberries when ever I get a batch for snacking on or to make strawberry shortcake with. Geesh now I have a hunger for strawberries... thanks folks.

So, I added strawberry leaves to dinner last night and they got picked around. Every scrap of everything else got snatched right up- but no dice on the strawberry leaves. Next time I will tear them smaller.

Now if your tort was in the garden and you were looking forward to a nice crop of fruit - the plant would be eaten to ground level in seconds!
