Default does anyone know if my horsefield can eat this weed??

Still looking to see if any weeds that grow here can be given to Sheli.
Thanks for any help.
Selina.

Selina, I don't know what it is I'm afraid. I think your safest bet for weeds for Sheli, is to drop a pm to SWsarah, she runs an online shop where you can buy weed seeds and grow them yourself. Ask her if she can ship to Tenerife .. I'm sure she will be able to help you.

Thanks for that but I have got some weed seeds from shelled warriors. they said that they were quick growing weeds, and should be ready to eat in a week. Well I've been growing them on my roof since b4 xmas and they're still little shoots... so not doing too well with them....lol...
Been feeding her cactus,which she really likes, a sort of dandilion that grows here,hibiscus flowers that she loves and their leaves,and the geraniums from my roof.
Is that enough for her?
I also dust them with limestone flower every day and vitamin powder every other day.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Selina.

You need to be careful sending seeds overseas, there are restrictions on some countries and I am pretty sure the Canaries are one of them - best check with DEFRA first.
