Another great post Morag. Thank you. I wonder why we throw away the tops of any root vegetable. Radish leaves, beetroot tops, turnip greens…….just about anything leafy attached to a root vegetable is worth eating. My rule of thumb is to be much more cautious if the bit we usually eat grows above the ground; tomatoes and eggplants are part of the nightshade family and their stems and leaves contain high concentration of the glycoalkaloid poison. Potatoes are also nightshades and an exception to the root vegetable rule. Rhubarb leaves are notoriously poisonous. These days we're lucky to have the benefit of the internet. We can just google anything we might like to try eating.

Thanks for this post, Morag, I'm getting some really good ideas here. I haven't used carrot tops before but will be trying them now. I ordered the toothbrushes from your post a few days ago. They arrived so promptly and are an instant hit. My husband also likes the idea of using the handles when finish with, to use as garden markers. Keep up the good ideas.
blessings Gail.
