I love the summer months when all the veggies are in full bloom. My neighbours have gone on holiday and told us to help ourselves from their veggie patch at the end of the garden. So to my piggies delight I came home with carrot tops, beetroot leaves, peas in pods, and runner beans. They are now happily munching away on tonight's special.
Cant wait for the corn on the cob to be ready. But the piggies will have to share those with me, yum. drool
 
They can eat beetroot but not beetroot leaves.

Really? I fed Rod the odd beet leaf and he loved them :{

Dont you get them in some of the bagged salads from the supermarkets?

Yeah my boys love them too but I just googled it and apparently its because of the high levels of folic acid in them which can cause heart problems. I also read that they shouldn't have cabbage because of the amount of gas it causes and its not good for their system. Shame cos my boys love them too.
 
My Mom brought some round the other day as she'd got some beetrots from my brother in laws allotment, she thought the piggies might like them - so I looked online and did a few cross-references and it seemed that they were a big no-no so they went in the compost instead!
