Summary: On today's show I talk about five things in your garden that you can eat but likely aren't. I didn't mention some things that are so commonly unlikely edible (like squash blossoms) because these have become mainstream. I discuss things that up to a few years ago I was surprised you could eat. Disclaimer: I talk about carrot greens in this episode. I've had listeners actually tell me that they eat them. There are various opinions on these. I basically added them as a sidenote. I do not recommend you eat them unless you do your own research and come to your own conclusions. Again I will say that you are responsible for what you put in your mouth. But I can't recommend that you eat carrot greens because they are easily confused with Queen Anne's Lace greens.
