A couple in the yard to check on
I have Wild Violet (Viola papilionacea) growing in the yard as well as Ground Ivy (Glechoma hederacea). Does anyone know if these are tort safe? They are quite abundant right now. So much stuff is coming up right now Im trying to get it all identified.

Thanks Chris, a fellow keeper from the US said both are fine and that his torts have been eating both for years. Im living in a new area of the US right now so allot of the stuff I am seeing coming up is completely new to me.
