Our outdoor tortoise enclosure has been grown a ton of the attached in the last couple of weeks. No idea what they are, can anyone help? I'll be overjoyed if they're edible, there are loads!

Looks like Willowherb - feed in Moderation. Joe never touched it though.

I think you're right, thanks. I'll leave it in there so he can nibble if he wants but I won't pick any especially for feeding .

You will end up pulling up loads of it. It grows quite tall and spreads like wildfire. Fortunately it has very shallow roots

I thought that might be the case, there's already a lot.
