Whenever we had carrots for dinner, I would take the sliced off carrot-tops, and put them in saucers of water on my kitchen windowsill until they sprouted great curling leaves. I remember this working for turnips too, and Roscoe loved to wolf them down when I'd grown them as tall as I thought I could.
Wonderful!

ReplyDeleteOh, I love this illustration! And the story behind it is so sweet. I never knew carrots actually did that! I'll have to remember that, seeing as I have a nutty wild rabbit that insists on visiting me daily. That would be the perfect treat! :)
