Any advice would be appreciated.

PM'd you..

Thanks

Ive also see lots of people getting confused between the English/US names for salads, so below is a chart from the web site Anapsid that will confirm most of these.

Hi,

Just wondered where people are managing to find these greens from! I had previously been feeding recommendations from other sites (Swiss chard mainly, kale, parsley, basil as greens, then to add variety things such as celery, tomatoes, mango (which they love!), tomatoes, papaya, brocolli and butternut squash) but according to that nutritional site, the greens they're getting aren't too good....

I have found alfalfa seeds which I shall start growing (a tad confused about the plant bit though, i thought alfalfa was pretty much just sprouts...), but where would you get things such as cactus pad, cactus pear and collard greens? Someone's going to grow a couple of bits down his allotment for me such as the Spaghetti Squash, but I am still struggling with an everyday green, avaliable in the UK. (I assume these really need to be reasonably rich in calcium).

Thankyou

Hello, just been having a look for a helpful site..... think this is just the kind of site we are looking for.
Like this salad tips list too......... it all helps. And just about every book contradicts the next one....
We have 3 baby beardies, and are only parents to them since 4 hours ago. They are all fine, and settled in to their posh new viv nicely.
Bless em !
No queeries as yet, but I'm sure there will be !! I just love em....
Thanks.... 'Laney'
