Can anyone help identify this please. 2nd year in my garden and suddenly it’s everywhere. Need to know if it is safe for tortoises to eat!

    I like to see a plant growing, they never look right after that

    Agree, an in-situ photo would help.  Could they be the basal leaves of one of the weedy types of evening primrose?

    Thanks people. I’ve checked out pictures of the suggested plants and it definitely is not any of those. I will take another picture tomorrow to show in situ.

    I think it is a willowherb, one of the small ones.
