food outline

I'm just wondering if the girls veggie menu is ok. I have the food chart and i have read the stickies. But thought i would be nice to see what you guys think.

Some weeks i pick up one or two different veggies to switch it up for them. Dandelion greens, Red lettuce, celery, Kale, Collard Greens, Cabbage, Mustard Greens, Sweet peas and Green beans.

Here's a outline of what they get
Daily-
Endive, peppers, swiss chard, zucchini and they would get cilantro. Cilantro seems to be out of season here in the states this year. weird.

M/W/F-
Green Lettuce, Parsley, cherry tomatoes

T/TH/S-
Romaine, baby carrots and cucumbers

Sundays-
Green Lettuce, broccoli and a some fruit.

I think the T/TH/S is a little low on vitamin C? Maybe change cucumber to bell pepper? You just need a little slice of 5 grams (for red) to fill a piggy's daily vit C requirement!

Hmm they do get peppers every day. I didnt even see that. mallethead Maybe i should add some kale for T/TH/S, since they love it. x) But right now my brain is melting from thinking so much.@)

What about alfalfa sprouts? Is it ok to give to them? Is that more of a couple times a week food or a once a week food? I give them alfalfa hay as a treat once in a while.
