Carrot leaves?
In one of the many diet lists I've consulted I saw carrot leaves listed as an OK food. Is this correct?
If so, I going to go back to childhood and put carrot tops in a saucer of water on the kitchen windowsill. |

Ours was eating little bits of chopped up carrot in the pet shop. The carrot leaves thing was on the diet sheet they gave us but I thought I'd run by SW before I gave him any.

A very occaisoinal little bit of carrot is going to do no harm, high in vit C I believe and beta carotene. I have sprinkled grated carrot over weeds maybe twice over a summer.
I have heard of people feeding carrot tops but not something I've done myself and not read that it is beneficial anywhere, so personnally I'd avoid |

Cheers Bindi. Would've been an easy one to grow at home but thought it best to check.
PS Temps are rising nicely. Currently 32.5 in basking spot. |
