Well the translation is 'urinate in your bed' !

Good old Morrisons though... will have to take a look.

I was just looking through some of the food lists - if it doesn't specify does it usually mean both leaves and flowers can be fed? e.g campanula, dandelion (I usually only feed the leaves), sow thistle, nipplewort and others....

Also I notice it mentions perennial geraniums - does anyone know if bedding plant type geraniums are ok too?

And someone mentioned primula's but I couldn't see them on the list - are they ok?

Sorry - just want to make sure I feed them the right stuff!

Dandelions... both leaves and flowers (they usually love the flowers), most lists will specify if it's only one or the other to be fed.

Primulas are slightly toxic... best avoided.

The annual variety of geranium which is okay to feed is the pelargonium.

Excellent - thanks!
I'd always avoided the Dandelion flowers as I wasn't sure.

Glad I didn't buy primulas this morning then!
I did however buy pelargoniums and a perennial geranium

Nice one

Sounds like you're having lots of fun

I moved house two years ago, before I kept a tort, and whoever planted my garden up originally did an excellent job in providing loads of tort friendly plants... lucky me
