    There have been a few little leaves sprouting at the base of my desert rose and I have no idea if they are supposed to be there or not (I am a beginner). I'm pretty positive they shouldn't but don't want to rip them out just in case....

    Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Looks like weeds to me.
    Give it a gentle tug.

      Can small courgettes which have stopped growing and are slightly soft be eaten?
