Do you (humans) eat the swede leaves? We don't eat tomato leaves so maybe if *we* eat swede leaves it's an indicator?
As far as I'm aware we don't!

Yes, I was interested enough to do some further research on this.
I dislike swede, so am sure I would equally dislike the leaves :lol: However, it appears that the humble swede is also a member of the Brassica napus family and originated as a cross between cabbage and turnip. It also can be eaten as a leaf vegetable.

Tomato, potato and I think also aubergine are members of the nightshade family, so their leaves will be poisonous.
Fascinating
I am following (ha!) a no nightshades diet to help my psoriasis, includes peppers (and chilli peppers) and oddly goji berries!
Is it helping?
Did you get to have another look at the plant you posted the pic of yesterday (the one that was possibly wild asparagus)?
My trio have all turned their back on the Bedstraw :lol:
looks good Kara.
