apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Maybe they could be dried and used as an herbal tea?

Oh my, NO. The leaves are soooooo stinky! That's the only part I hate about having tomatoes in my garden: the way my hands smell after weeding or picking them. I have to wash my hands about three times to get the stank off! I can't imagine actually putting them in food! I'll pass.

Really, Peggasus?

The smell of tomato plants is one of the highlights of summer for me. I'd grow them JUST for the leaves, if necessary.

Agreed, Rianne. To me, tomato plants *are* the smell of summer. Mmmm.

i agree, the smell is not my favorite thing.

The smell must be a love/hate thing. The smell of tomato vines is one of my favorite aromas. I remember when tomato vines were taller than me and I would run around and hide in them. My grandpa used to have tons of tomato bushes as well. The smell will always remind me of happy times.

I actually hate the smell of tomato leaves too but love tomatoes.

How funny, I don't care for tomatoes at all, but I *love* the scent of the foliage! I'd totally try the leaves if I had proof that they were not poisonous.

I would want to see a lot more rigorous research before I started eating them.

*probably* not poisonous? I'd rather not take my chances....

i started growing tomatoes for the first time this year. i loved the way my hands would smell every day after i watered it. never really thought about eating them but i'd definitely do it.

Probably poisonous. Is this going to be a fad like fugu?

Tomato plants are contain poisonous compounds. I am not joking. They are a member of the nightshade family. I suggest you update or delete this post.
