Your girls will have a good sense of what they can and cannot eat. 
They will enjoy picking creepy-crawlies out of the ivy, whilst leaving the ivy alone, so no probs there. 
Mine eat rose leaves which blow over from next door, (mine are long gone) and dandelions are a real treat for my girls, but they aren't so keen on the flowers.  They don't appear to wet their bed, either!  lol
