[Gpdd] MISC- carrot tops

[Penny Charlesworth]

Hi Jaime,

I have never tried to store carrot tops as I pull the carrots up, wash them 
under the garden tap and, after a quick dry with a towel, they have been 
devoured in moments by a dedicated team of piggies but I know that our 
Rodentologists keep all manner of veggies, including carrots with tops, in 
their fridge. If they do it, it must be OK.

Once the tops have been removed they do tend to wilt, don't they? I wonder, 
if you were to trim the ends, would they keep in a jar of water like a bunch 
of flowers. I haven't tried it as there is never any leaf to spare but it 
might keep your tops fresh. I suppose it depends on how long they have been 
adrift from the original carrot before you get them.

If left long enough, the tops will start to decompose as would any organic 
matter but they won't heat up and ferment quickly like a box of grass.

Love to Mimi,

Penny and the Piggyfriends.
