which are safe to grow?

[BearDrummer]

There is a very short list of flowers that redfoots can eat that people talk about. There are many other flowers. I haven't seen a list of flowers to NOT feed.

I have a box of seeds that I am going to ask about. Which are good, bad or ugly?

alyssum
chamomile
impatiens
echinacea
morning glory
moonflower
sunflower
marigold
viola


oregano
basil
lemon balm
sage
winter savory
catnip


various bean/pea sprouts/leaves and maybe eventually pods
pumpkin/squash sprouts/leaves
onion/garlic/radish/chive tops or bulbs
carrot tops
tomato
kohlrabi

Off the top of my head...

no to the morning glory.

depending on what type of flower your calling moonflower, that's a no also.

chamomile I have no idea on.

impatients as long as it's a part of the varied diet in small amounts they are okay, large amounts can have be a problem.

The tomato, the fruit itself in very small amounts, but never the leaves.

The radish tops okay, not sure they will eat the other tops.

The beans I would keep as a limited part of the diet.

The kohlrabi as long as it is a part of a variety type diet should be okay in small amounts.

The herbs are okay, but may not be eaten.

There are many plant lists available with a simple internet search. Both lists of toxic plants and edible ones. Over time, I have spent hours browsing these lists. You might need to find some lists that you like and bookmark them for future reference.

I think the most often used one is tortoisetable.org
