Never eaten carrot tops; I meant put the baby carrots on the table.

We have bought sprout mixes with radish seedlings in them; they are slightly peppery, so the tops, I would imagine, could easily go into a salad.

What you say makes a lot of sense! Thanks!

I’ve never raised any carrots, but I can easily see that I would want to eat the little embryo root. I guess I can experiment with tasting a few tops, (don’t have any planted yet, but I have PLANS!!) but I’ve done a lot of sprouting as well over the years, and the radish greens ARE very good as younglings.

I just bought the new edition of the Square Foot Gardening and have read the Intro and first three chapters. I’ve learned so much from just that much!
