Root Veggie Tops for Bunnies

Made a nice light but hearty root vegetable soup with dumplings in chicken broth today. Of course I shared my veggies with the bunnies. 


The bunns got the leafy tops and the tender baby celery stalks.


See the bottom of this bunch of celery, it is staring to shoot roots.


These carrots and turnips are shooting green tops. You can propagate them by putting them in shallow water. I am not doing this for the veggies, but I am doing it for the tops, the leafy greens that will shoot out of them in a few weeks. They will be tender, lush, and rabbit ready. You can do the same for green onions, or anything, really, that is shooting roots or tops. 


BUT...my luck is not so great with green things. I somehow managed to kill this little cactus. I am hoping it is just dormant and will grow green again. HUMmmmmmm......Maybe the bunnies and Mother of God can talk this poor thing back to life...LAZARUS! RISE!


My poor sad little aloe plant. It is still hanging in there after all these years. It is quite a miracle. It used to be big and lush and gorgeous. 
I have a black thumb.....

  1. The soup looks so good. Brandi, you cannot have a "black" thumb. It is not possible. You are too full of life.

    1. I am like Jupiter, a giant gas ball planet that sucks in other life energies from the immensity of my gravitational pull. Organic flora is most especially vulnerable to my "full of life" force.

    1. I deleted that post. It was a bit angry and inflammatory. I am trying to curb my anger and reactionary postings!

  3. Brandi, you are getting me into trouble, too. I went to the Ancient Faith Radio you have on your Saints' page. I listened to the readings for Tuesday and one was about the power/consequences of the tongue. I am afraid I am very guilty as charged, but that is a really amazing site. Gracias.

  5. I added some radish tops to my flourishing collection of root veggies. Radishes make me crazy, I love them so much. I intended them for the bunnies, but ended up most of them myself.
