Most of you may know the ground elder as a stubborn weed which is almost impossible to remove from your garden. It spreads through subterraneous offshoots and if the weed is present once, it remainis forever, unless you have tortoises. They prefer the young and tender leaves during early spring before the plant blossoms.
Ground Elder is a wholesome and nutritious food for tortoises. Later in the year the whole plant including the blooms can be fed. From my experience the torts prefer the younger plants.

Not only those, last year I noticed that my Thb also thought the roots were very delicious.
The roots are relatively thick and pale - white coloured . My little torts really knawed at them.
