I love broccoli stems. They’re great in stir-fries.

Interesting that about peach leaves

Wow, the pea shoots might be a good one when you’re using pea straw as mulch. It grows so many baby peas, but I haven’t been eating them when I pull them up.

Allium buds and peach leaves? How absolutely wonderful. I had no idea you could eat those.

I’ve only just found out (in the last 6 months) that you can eat radish and turnip leaves. It almost pains me to think of all those years I’ve just been throwing them out. Now more lovely “leftovers” to eat!

Hi Katrina, we have about five different scented geraniums and that juice sounds devine. Now I just need a juicer!

I agree that the peach leaf in the custard sounds romantically declicious. I use pea shoots in fried rice and love it. My most unusual food last year was to juice rose geranium leaves with apples. Added with a bit of ginger and mint it was an instant elixir for anything. I planted a few of them this year for more. I love this topic. Thank you.

Hi Sarah, I did hear that. They just sent us a letter yesterday. I told Scott he needs to quit his job in database management and become a seed store manager. Glad to hear that you’ll be working together We might be poor, but with a good discount on seeds at least!

Hmm, pea shoots. I’ve seen that but not tried it yet. Done the broccoli and cauliflower leaves and, of course, the beet greens which are delicious! Never the cilantro roots. As I’ve got a bunch bolting in the front yard right now, I’ll have to check out the recipes.
