    Hi everyone, just to be clear you CANNOT eat tomato plant leaves as someone had suggested to me in a previous comment.

      Yes, tomato plants are edible, but some parts are more edible than others:
      Leaves
      Young tomato leaves are edible and have a strong herbal aroma and delicious flavor. They can be prepared like other garden greens, such as kale or cabbage, or used in sauces and herbal tea. They are also rich in phytonutrients. However, tomato leaves contain the alkaloids tomatine and solanine, which are toxic. According to Toxic Plants of North America, an adult human would need to eat at least a pound of tomato leaves to experience harmful effects.
      So moderation in all things.

Of course, I had to sprinkle it fairly often. It worked for us and we didn't notice any harmful effects to the plants or us. Good luck, your greenhouse veges and herbs look wonderful.

    Hi, Sean!
    I just looked up when you mentioned it about eating tomatoes green leafs, and it says that you can eat them just don't over do it. As a matter of fact it gave recipe for making a twist on ' Pesto ' with the leafs and also another one to make it like spinach. 😋 So I don't know why the conflict . I'm still going to try it I'll let you know. Cheers!
